I think we need Krampus in America. There's way too many evil spirits hanging around the malls and Wal-Marts (and CVS's) during the holiday season. Obviously if he were around, Christmas would be a happier time.
I agree. I'd heard legends of Black Peter and Knecht Ruprecht, other companions of Santa. I'd love to be the Bad Cop partner of Santa's.
Getting to beat kids with a stick and stuff them in a sack and drag them away? Muffled screams as a warning to traumatized Norwegian/Germanic children who didn't get their chores done fast enough, what what?
That just puts the funk in dysfunction. I'd be all over it. Let me know if you want to come to your CVS and stuff screaming kids in a sack and haul them away. :)

I love it.
My other new favorite weird European Christmas tradition is the giant Swedish WICKER GOAT! Which people SET ON FIRE! (Technically, they aren't supposed to set it on fire, but it has been burned to the ground over 20 times since 1966.)
