If you like to embrace the spooky, Krampus is the way to do it. This half-goat half-demon that originated in Austria is known to visit bad boys and girls the day before Christmas and extoll any number of punishments. He may beat them with the branch he carries, take them back to his lair and torture them or perform other frightening deeds to make them see their evil ways.

Krampus shows a dark side of Christmas that many people can’t get enough of. If you are a Krampus fan, here are some decorative items you won’t want to be without.
