What's krampus?

>>736830

>In Central European folklore, Krampus is a horned, anthropomorphic figure described as "half-goat, half-demon",[1] who, during the Christmas season, punishes children who have misbehaved, in contrast 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, Czech Republic, Hungary, Northern Italy including South Tyrol, Slovakia, and Slovenia.[2]

A movie came out about it a few years ago.

Eh, no worse than telling them about Santa. Show them the movie, too, while you're at it.

>>736757

Thanks for making them cultured

Only if it doesn't exist. That would be bearing false witness. However if the gentiles have ever worshipped the Krampus as a god at any point then it exists and is a DEMON

The true archenemy of St. Nicholas (Santa) is Arius tbh. Krampus is Hollywood bullshit.

A sin? Nah. My family watches Krampus movies every Krampus Day by tradition. It's just another character in a movie to my kids, no more real than the Terminator or Luke Skywalker.

This. I was always taught that it was the baby Jesus who was giving gifts to children.

I don't know that that's any better. Would still be interpreted as a lie by a teenager in their rebellious phase. If my children get gifts, they will know who it's from.

We all knew it was our parents who have us the gifts. But if shit went wrong during their teens I wouldn't be afraid to put them in their place with a couple of slaps. That's what kids need this days but parents are too afraid to do.

That's why we live in a world of sodomites and effeminated man.

Didn't know it was a northern European tradition. I thought it was movie shit.

>>737576

That would imply that Hollywood is capable of original creation. PROTIP: If it's in a movie, it came from somewhere else.

>>737576

Nope, just (((Hollywood))) being Hollywood.

Nah just tell them that if they aren’t good, elves will come in their room at night and break all there toys.
