Krampusnacht

once upon a time, naughty little boys and girls got more than coal in their stockings…

‘krampus is a beast-like creature from the folklore of alpine countries thought to punish bad children during the Christmas season, in contrast with Saint Nicholas, who rewards nice ones with gifts. Krampus is said to capture particularly naughty children in his sack and carry them away to his lair.’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krampus

although it would have been much fun for me to properly take photos of the demons walking the streets of Cortina whilst Saint Nicholas handed out gifts to terrified and crying children, I myself was shielding my own frightened children from the fire yielding goat like creatures and their chains and bells.  but not lenny of course, he’s not afraid of anything.  he figures it was awesome.
