/r/Krampus
In Central European folklore, Krampus is a horned, anthropomorphic figure described as "half-goat, half-demon", who, during the Christmas season, punishes children who have misbehaved. This contrasts with Saint Nicholas, who rewards the well-behaved with gifts. Krampus is one of the companions of Saint Nicholas in several regions including Austria, Bavaria, Croatia, Hungary, Northern Italy including South Tyrol and the Trentino, as well as the Czech Republic, and Slovenia.[2] The origin of the figure is unclear; some folklorists and anthropologists have postulated it as having pre-Christian origins.
In traditional parades and in such events as the Krampuslauf (English: Krampus run), young men dressed as Krampus participate. Such events occur annually in most Alpine towns.[3] Krampus is featured on holiday greeting cards called Krampuskarten.

Krampus Party!
If you were invited to a Krampus party, what would you hope to see/do??
Planning a Krampus party for the 21st: cozy, fur-lined, Scandinavian cabin decor but flooded with red light, hanging snowballs & snowflakes & branches, coal-themed drinks & food.
Looking for activities to get people engaged, drinking, & dancing!
Would love to hear your thoughts!

Krampus Drawing • 12/1/24 •
Went back and forth between drawing Krampus from the 2015 movie or drawing Krampus in the original folklore style. Obviously I went with OG Krampus which meant a million strokes of the pen to create layer after layer of his fur. My hand is sore but I feel extremely accomplished & I'm so glad I got him finished for December 1st 🖤
Not sure if I’m going to add prints of him to my Etsy or not, but for now I’m just glad to share my drawing with you all 🖤

Dear Krampus afficionados
I would like to respectfully nominate the Duolingo Owl as the Krampus' new sidekick.
Santa has their elves in the North Pole to deliver presents.
Krampus has a pschotic owl that kidnaps you if you don't be good and do your daily Deutsch lesson.
Thoughts?

Worried about something
First time posting here. If it violates any rules, feel free to delete. Anyway, last year on my Tumblr account, I combined Krampus with another character (too shy to say who it is) because I thought it would be cool, but now I feel bad because I feel like I might have appropriated the Christmas demon. I combined traits from both characters and mentioned it wasn't a traditional Krampus. He still punished naughty children, but he also tricks good kids into being naughty so he could take them as well and he's a bit more active throughout the season (something the other character would do). I feel bad for having done that when though I never got any crap for it. I'm not from any of the regions what celebrate Krampus. What should I do? Are my fears valid or am I freaking out over nothing? Thanks in advanced!

I asked ChatGPT to come up with an original cocktail for Krampusnacht...
I've asked ChatGPT for themed drinks many times and the results are hit or miss. Well, that's not really true. The results are normally decent but not particularly special. This one was a winner though. It's called "Winter Mischief":
1 1/2 oz (45 ml) Vodka or Gin 1/2 oz (15 ml) ginger syrup (I made by muddling fresh ginger into 2:1 simple syrup) 1 oz (30 ml) fresh lime juice 3 oz (90 ml) ginger beer
Fill a highball glass with ice. Add Vodka, ginger syrup, and lime juice and stir. Top with the ginger beer. Garnish with a lime wheel and fresh cranberries (chatgpt actually called for pomegranate seeds).
I haven't tried this with gin yet but I think a sprig of rosemary would make a nice additional garnish to the Gin.
Anyway, this is delightful. There is just a little bit of bite from the ginger but otherwise it is light and refreshing. ChatGPT suggested subbing in sparkling water for the ginger beer but I think it would make it too light.
