Check out this crocheted Krampus by <a href="http://croshame.com/2011/12/21/krampus-time-is-here-again/">Croshame.com</a>. The nipples are the best part. Although, this is not the actual Krampus time of year (it's actually December 5), I absolutely want one of these krampocheted!

Live action Krampus images are hard to come by, but not always worth sharing. This one I thought was great enough to do so. Enjoy.<br />

I'm late, but I'm late because I WANT the Krampus to visit me. So, I'm being bad. So, there.<br />
Since I am unable to make a physical Krampus card this year I am hoping to be able to post more Krampus-related illustrations by your humble blogger (who am I kidding – I'm far from humble). Enjoy and be good.<br />
<br />
Or bad, depending on who you would like to visit you this season. BOO!<br />

Today is Thanksgiving in the country I reside in. I'm pretty sure that Austria celebrates Thanksgiving by eating a roasted Krampus instead of turkey. I obtained this way of thinking from <a href="http://areasofmyexpertise.com/post/13252584224/in-austria-they-do-not-eat-turkey-but-instead-enjoy" target="_blank">John Hodgman</a>.<br />
<br />
I'm revisiting this design for this year's Krampus Kard. I always enjoyed the illustration and I feel saddened that it was never used properly. I feel even more saddened that I will probably have to resort to digital delivery of this years card due to the high cost of printing and the low level of my income these days. Don't worry, though. This will see the light of paper one day. And it will be magnifikramp!<br />

One that pops up in a few of my older posts (like <a href="http://krampuskards.blogspot.com/2008/12/pussy-willow-krampus.html">THIS ONE</a>). I like the whimsical style in these.
