have any of you heard the story of the krumpusz?
would you mind to share?

o.0 what are they supposed to be?

No,I never have .If you know,what are they?

Asgardareid has pics on her page and knows of this and the celebration talk to her about it....

Perchten and Krampuse

Now that is story you don't here of any more. lol
It's actually spelled Krampusz, and they are a folklore creature who dates back to the days of the Roman Empire.

They were basically the anti Santa Claus... just as Saint Nicholas would give gifts to the good and kind hearted the Kramusz would enter the homes of those who were not so good and do... well, they would do more trick than treat for what the person had done.

The were essentially Gremlins.

Grown men dressed as Fertility Demons, running around whipping people with Birch, and then getting drunk! doesn't sound like fun to me.

They don't even give out coal...Bah! *coughs*

I was slightly put off by the spelling lol
Interesting to hear about them, although I wouldn't want them to come near my place.

I looove the story. I only just read it over Yule but I was excited to find out that Santa has a goon lol

My grandmother use to scare us and even in school they hired little people to dress us monstrous krumpusz and scare kids. My grandmother use to tell us that if a child or a person is doing bad things the Krumpusz comes to them instead of Santa and basically beat the crap out of them.
