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.

Dear Krampus

Dear Krampus,

I saw a  pretty awful movie this week.

It was called Mother Krampus and had nothing to do with your story at all- which is ok. A good story will  grow and run on it’s own two legs ) or four or eight, you get my point ) and to make it worse- it just sucked.

Let me paint you a picture.

Remember that game  that I used to love to play with my family called, “Consequences”?

Consequences is the old parlour game where each player is given a sheet of paper, and all are told to write down a word or phrase to fit a description (“an animal”), optionally with some extra words to make the story. Each player then folds the paper over to hide the most recent line, and hands it to the next person. At the end of the game, the stories are read out.

Well watching this movie made me feel like I had come across a game of Consequences.

Yep. It was pretty naughty of someone to have put this one together. Just saying.

Do you know what I JUST realized?

I only have a month to get ready for a visit from Krampus!

Have fun with Jolly Old Saint Nick.

I am about to embark on

Halloween

Segunda parte.

Alexa- Summon Krampus

RDP Friday – Decorated

Vintage Krampus Holiday Card

This year  the Christmas theme

at

Casa del  Moscoso

will be…

Krampus!

I know, BIG surprise right?

I’ve got a month to

THE BIG DAY

and in that time I will be searching for and expressing the spirit of

Krampus

in print, in food, and most Christmassy of all -in decorations.

Just to make sure I leave no stone unthrown- I mean over turned

I just my have to resort to asking Google or Alexa for some help- not that I have access to Alexa but I would like to drop in at some of my friend’s houses and say something like:

” Alexa, summon Krampus “.

So far all I have are my Christmas cards and are they ever PERFECT:

The question is, do I send these to my friends and family who have naughty or nice ?

I know, it’s a puzzle but that’s okay. It’s part of the fun and this year for Christmas I intend to have a lot of that.
