‘Greetings from Krampus’

I hope you’ve all been good little boys and girls, or else [Krampus](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krampus) will come to punish you!

Had I thought of it earlier, I could have bought [cards](http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/0867197781). Every time I hear of Krampus, it slips my mind. We didn’t have him in San Diego, y’see… **Spiny Norman** reminded me this year. (There was a story on NPR did a couple of weeks ago.)

[Merry Krampus](http://www.fangraphs.com/not/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Merry-Krampus.jpg), everyone! 🙂

(And if anyone would like to get me a [_Krampusnacht_… I meant Christmas present…](http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0362/5165/products/krampus_1024x1024.jpg)😉 )

Around here, that costs extra.
