Gruss vom Krampus!
It's Krampusnacht, and that means that all of the bad children will be visited by Krampus tonight! Krampus, the Christmas Devil and evil counterpart of St. Nicholas, is a cloven-hooved, goat-demon that punishes bad children with a lash of his birch branched switch, then transports them to Hell inside the wicker basket upon his back.
Have you been good this year?

And a little homage to the horned-one himself from the 2015 Michael Daugherty film of the same name to put you in a ghastly yultide mood... "Cloven" by composer Douglas Pipes. Enjoy!

Happy Krampusnacht to you Highbury. Be sure to leave out a glass of whiskey and some smokes for Krampus as I feel he would not want any milk or cookies.
Whiskey and smokes!! That's awesome!!
