A new tradition in our household is leaving a hot bowl of soup for the Krampus along with milk and cookies for Father Christmas.
My sons get excited, knowing that on christmas morning the cookies will be eaten, the glass of milk empty, and the bowl of soup eaten.

Krampus is not a devil or “satanic monstrosity” as christian tradition will allude.
He is a friend of Kris Kringle and part of a colorful bunch called the ‘Companions of Sinterklass’.
Welcome Krampus and Santa into your home with offerings of savory stew, and sweets, because tonight they are brief guests in your house!

Merry Christmas and Happy Yule my friends!

*canned soup works too.
