Be Like Krampus

A few years ago I was talking to a friend of mine who worked in the same  Human Rights group as I did and we were discussing missing children.

We discussed the sad reality that  if a child looks like they could be featured on a Christmas Card or an Ivory Soap commercial, the Press ( and now the internet ) will literally turn the Country upside down and shake it until those children, The Christmas Card Kids reappear.

To be honest, I think that just shows how effed up we are- the only missing children, the only missing adults that we care about are golden and pristine. We value those symbols of genetic perfection above all else.

On the other hand, we have Krampus holiday cards and he does NOT care our golden and pure your look, He looks deeper then that.

I think we should be more like Krampus.

If You Go Down In The Woods Today

If you go down in the woods today
You’re sure of a big surprise

If you go down in the woods today
You’d better go in disguise!

For every bear that ever there was will gather there for certain
Because today’s the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic

Beneath the trees where nobody sees
They’ll hide and seek as long as they please
‘Cause that’s the way the Teddy Bears have their picnic

Dark Little Windows

I know how many days there are to Halloween.

Just thought I’d mention that.

Snow Days Are The Best Days
