Krampusnacht?

Krampusnacht, meaning Krampus Night, is celebrated annually on December 5. This is the night before the Feast of St Nicholas, the patron saint of children, sailors, and various groups. I have seen it slowly come to the US, even in Second Life.
You don't know who he is? 

He sure does not come via reindeer like Santa does. He is actually a goat-headed demon and punishes those who have been bad. Remember the song "You better watch out and be good for goodness sake." Yes, it is a warning that not only does St. Nicholaus come but also Krampus.

For a more peaceful place to visit why not try 
LeLoo's World Twinkling Trails? This is a Winter Wonderland with Santa and frolicking reindeer. No Krampus here.

Me and Santa's band
The air is crisp, snowflakes are falling and the pond is perfect for skating. Glide through the scenic landscape on one of the sleigh tours or just explore by foot or horse. Every turn reveals new delights and festive wonders!

You can take some nice pictures and try your luck singing with Santa and his band. That snowman was amazing on the piano. 

You can also visit the Retreat for some Winter Wonderland pictures and even Krampus, Santa, and many photo opportunities. See you there!!!

Come and see him or get on the naughty list!!!
The Retreat and Basement Club!!!



Krampus, Pampus, Schwarzgesicht 
Mich erschrickst du diesmal nicht! 
Denn ich war -kann ich dir sagen- 
Nur an 150 Tagen 
Mal ein bisschen ungezogen. 
Krampus das ist nicht gelogen 
Nächstes Jahr wird’s besser sein! 
Also steck die Rute ein.

This poem says, "Krampus, you will not scare me this time. I was bad for only 150 days, and that is no lie. Next year, I will be better, so put your stick away."
