00:00Oh, little kitty, I see you're in a holiday moon, but could you please stop being naughty?
00:20No, kitty, having fun!
00:23Well, you can have as much as fun as you want, but make sure you don't trouble others, or else it will come to haunt you.
00:38Let me share this nightmarish mythological tale by addressing a mischievous question.
00:46Who visits naughty children at Christmas? Zoom in!
00:51We are all familiar with the legendary story of Santa Claus in his red suit, riding his sleigh, led by Rudolph's shiny red nose, carrying a sack, bursting with gifts for well-behaved kids around the world.
01:09But, hold on to your sleigh bells, because in the enchanted land of Christmas, there's also a mysterious beast known as the Krampus.
01:21Krampus, a half-goat, half-demon monster, bearing horns, dark hair, and a long, slimy tongue.
01:32Yes, according to European Alpine folklore, particularly in Germany,
01:39On the occasion called Krampus Knark, a day before the eve of St. Nicholas's feast day, the Krampus checks Santa's gift list to note down the addresses of naughty kids,
01:54who won't be receiving presents from the cheerful Santa Claus, and that's when the nightmare begins.
02:02Then the Krampus goes to the homes of these naughty kids to punish them, according to the intensity of their misdeeds.
02:12For those who are less naughty, he might give them a lump of coal, while those who are moderately naughty, he is known to beat them with a birch rod.
02:24And, if the kid is very, very mischievous, the monster carries them away in a basket on his back to take them to hell, where they would be imprisoned for a year.
02:39However, while the legend portrays Krampus as a fearsome figure, there's an underlying message beyond the scales.
02:47Yes, behind the haunting, mythological tales of the Krampus monster, his stories aim to teach kids about their actions.
02:59When he brings gifts like coal or shiny sticks, it serves as reminders to be good all year round.
03:08If you get coal, it's like a warning to improve, and if you get shiny sticks, it means you can make things right by being kind and making good choices.
03:22Hence, since the beginning of this practice, parents often played a role in this tradition by placing these symbolic gifts around the house,
03:34intending to impart valuable lessons about responsibility, behavior, and the power of making positive choices.
03:45Even today, many Alpine countries continue to celebrate Krampus Nakh with parades,
03:53where townspeople dress like devils and run through the streets, chasing after both children and naughty parents.
04:01So, this holiday season, when someone greets you with Merry Christmas, feel free to respond with Merry Christmas to you,
04:12and may Krampus not take you away.
04:16Trivia time!
04:18Did you know the legend of the Krampus originated as a German Christmas tradition during the 12th century?
04:26Also, Krampus' name derives from the German word Krampen, which means claw.
