ORIGINS: Krampus - the Christmas Devil - Forgotten History

Christmas slowly evolved for many, to be a season of hanging ornaments from trees, stockings lining fireplaces and joyful music filling the air. In addition to that, millions brace themselves for the month of constant marketing messages and spending. The Christmas holiday was soon developed across many different cultures to reach the point it has today. However, one of its modern staples, Santa Claus, was inspired by St. Nicholas: a real person. Born in third-century Turkey, he was known for his kindness and generosity toward less fortunate people. And in this day and age, everyone knows who Santa Claus is. He’s a jolly, plump old man, in a red suit with a white fur trim and wears a matching hat, and a long, snow-white beard on his chin. However, in recent times, people have become aware that good old Saint Nick has a dark counterpart, a demonic creature that punishes naughty, troublesome children, who don’t behave themselves during the year, especially during the Christmas season. Who is Krampus?
