In the heart of winter, a season steeped in tradition, two distinct figures emerge to shape the spirit of Christmas. One is the embodiment of kindness and generosity, a saint whose legacy spans centuries — St. Nicholas. The other, a darker counterpart, lurking in the shadows of folklore with a menacing presence — Krampus. We will explore the fascinating journey of St. Nicholas, from his early life of charity to the evolution into the beloved figure of Santa Claus. And as we unravel the benevolence of St. Nicholas, we will also delve into the eerie folklore surrounding Krampus, highlighting the contrasting elements that coexist in the Christmas narrative, while ending the episode with some fun Krampus creepy pastas from the interweb!
