How would I know that? It's just that German Santa only visits good kids... if they get themselves into a bad kind of mischief, he might send his ... erm... colleague... to take care of things:

| Hey, Lilly, is the colleague Krampus? Not sure how to spell it, but I read about it in a magazine about Victorian decorating. He travels along with Santa and punishes the bad kids, right? |

Yes, very good, Kayte! :)
His name is "Krampus" or "Knecht Ruprecht" and you're 100% right about his duties, although nowadays he's mainly there to scare kids (before they receive their presents anyway).
P.S.: you read a magazine about Victorian decorating?? What else did it say? |

| This was many years ago. I LOOOOOVE Victorian decor! It was a Christmas edition of the magazine. It had a picture of Krampus (as I recall, he looked like a devil???) and said it was a German tradition. My husband thought it was hilarious. |

yes, well, the real Krampus looks like this:
it's mainly a Bavarian & Austrian thing today. Krampus can be travelling along with Nikolaus (who is kind of the original Santa ;P), or he gathers with other folks looking just like him and they run through the streets and scare little girls... I'm being serious. It happens in Munich, too, every year on December 5th or 6th. It's hilarious to watch them scare other kids (and women, they love running after women), but when they run after you... aaaahhhh... not so funny anymore ;) |

Then Krampus will come and get you.
