Yuletide Greetings!!! 🎄 - The Krampus, also known as Kramperl or Bartl, is a figure that accompanies Saint Nicholas in various regional Advent traditions. These traditions are found all around the Alps, most of all in Austria, southern Germany and nothern Italy, but are also widespread in many parts of Eastern Europe. While Saint Nicholas gives presents to the good children, the naughty ones are punished by the Krampus, who most likely is a remnant of pre-Christian ideas and customs. - This little piece was an entry for the #spiritsofyulechallenge over on Instagram. :)
