St. Nicholas Eve
Today is the Eve of Saint Nicholas' Day. As stated in the link noted, ...in contradiction to earlier days there should be no frightening or threatening, no putting of moral pressure on the children, especially when St. Nicholas is involved, who always interceded for the suffering and needy. Oh how the day has become wimpy!?!?But, I won't go on here having blogged about it, with relish and a sigh of memories, here. Who needed Monster Horror Pictures with Count Floyd when you had the chain-dragging Krampus around? Let me hear and Ahhh Ohhh!(Hmm, Krampus looks a bit like Gene Simmons, doesn't he?)

This folk tale just gets more bizarre with every revisitation. Krampus/Simmons ... a motorcycle and sidecar of European make, with Nik looking just a little too comfortably ensconced in his sidecar. Thanks for making my Christmas season just that much richer, DV!
