tis the season: A Krampus Carol by Anthony Bourdain

Krampus is Santa Claus' whip-toting Christmas sidekick. According to legend, Krampus joins Santa where he tends to the children on Santa's naughty list. No coal here though. Instead, Krampus whips and licks children into shape or carries them off in his sack.

Leave it to anthony bourdain to come up with this sinister little christmas tale. I've chosen this vid as one of my instant christmas classics.
