Krampus's Little Helpers

Description

Happy Holidays, everybody who helps make my life special. You can't have too many parties.

Here you'll find a sketch of the Austrian winter critter, who traditionally accompanies St. Nick on his rounds, bringing coal and sticks to bad children, or even carrying them off in his basket. It's pretty easy to recognize the portrait of the shaman in the cave paintings, in a creature that originally would have frightened away the cold spirits of winter. 

Since Austrian children love Krampus, no matter how scary he is at Krampus parades, I've let them join the fun.

Call it "Krampus's Little Helpers."

If he brings you coal, may you use it to keep warm!

The Krampus will the Sun restore
When Winter be closing in - a!
And if we dance with torch therefor,
O, lightly then shall we sing - a!
Heigh-ho, the Krampus!  7@=e
