Grandmother: St. Nicolas is not coming this year. Instead a meaner darker sprit is coming, his name is Krampus, he and his elves have not come to give but to take. He is the shadow of Santa Claus.
Outside of krampus, the being has many names. Klaubauf is used throughout Austria, while Bartl or Bartel, Niglobartl, and Wubartl are used in the southern part of the country.[1][16] Outside Austria, Krampus and related creatures go by Pelzebock or Pelznickel in southern Germany, and Gumphinckel in Silesia.[17] In Hungary, he is Krampusz (often used to refer to the entire race of these creatures),[3] and in Switzerland, Schmutzli
In Austro-Bavarian German-speaking Alpine folklore, Krampus is a horned, anthropomorphic figure who punishes children during the Christmas season who have misbehaved, in contrast with Saint Nicholas, who rewards well-behaved ones with gifts. Regions in Austria feature similar figures and, more widely, Krampus is one of a number of Companions of Saint Nicholas in regions of Europe. The origin of the figure is unclear; some folklorists and anthropologists have postulated a pre-Christian origin for the figure. The 2015 movie reminds bolth adults and children to celebrate their ending holiday with love in their hearts for family and others. Or else if you fail to do so he'll pay you a visit. This movie is in no way a childrens movie at all, if you do however decide to take them you run the risk of your child reminicing they got their very first nightmare on a holiday that should be joyous.You have been warned!
