The Yuletide Punisher

Some mornings need a reminder that not everyone gets coasted through the day.

Long before the modern Santa, the Alps had their own answer for the wicked: a horned, cloven-hooved devil who walks the same snowy lanes, dragging chains and carrying a basket built for one purpose — hauling off children who never learned to behave. St. Nicholas rewards. Krampus collects.

He doesn't knock. He doesn't wait to be invited in. The bells on his harness are the only warning you get, and by the time you hear them, the birch switches are already in his hand.

This isn't a costume-shop devil. This is the old-world version, the one still marched through Alpine villages every December in a tradition older than the holiday it shadows.

Drink up. He's watching to see if you earned it.
