Description

Explore the chilling origins of Christmas: ancient European folklore features terrifying figures like Krampus, Belsnickel, Yule Lads, Frau Perchta, nisse, Hans Trapp, and Kallikantzaroi, who punish naughty children during the long winter nights around the solstice. These pre-Christian legends, older than America itself, mix fear with festivity and live on in traditions like Krampus runs and spooky cards. Checkout Solipillow.com
