Show Notes

Each December, countless children around the world excitedly await the arrival of Santa Claus. If they've been well-behaved, he'll reward them with gifts left in stockings or under the tree. If they've misbehaved, he might gently scold them with a lump of coal. But it's a slightly different story for children in places like Austria, where their version of Santa Claus, St. Nicholas, is accompanied by a terrifying assistant named Krampus who will punish naughty children in ways that go far beyond giving them coal.
