Christmas Traditions


Two Christmas traditions I was unaware of are Festivus and Krampus

Personally I don't plan on celebrating either one of them but for those who want today is Festivus.

I am glad that we do not have Krampus here. Or maybe we do and I have just lived 68 years without being aware of it. Anyway I hate to think of little kids having to deal with it. The video below is kind of scary.




This is Krumpus. Can you imagine coming up against him on a dark night. I am surprised that Criminal Minds or some other TV show has not picked up on him and used him as a serial killer or something. Although the pants look like something John Travolta wore in Saturday Night Fever. Come to think of it Krumpus is sometihing like the guys Travolta has played in his later movies.


So here is a little movie of him. Enjoy and Happy Festivus.





And here is one for Festivus



Oh yes, here is a stolen Post from Grandmère Mimi which I find rather funny.
