Our 39th Issue: Santa or Krampus 19.12.24
Mama and Ilyas from 4RR discussed Krampus or Santa- who will it be this year? While Adam (4RR) and Darine (5AI) wrote their piece about Heroes Day (19th Dec) and who are the top 3 heroes. Here's a joke from Ronica and Amelia (4RR): Why do mummies love Christmas? (They like wrapping!)
Here's an extract from Mama and Ilyas (4RR):
The Krampus legend has its roots in central and Eastern European traditions, particularly in Austria and Germany, where his story dates back to pre-Christian times, blending pagan and Christian customs.
The figure of Krampus became widely recognized in the 19th century, especially with the tradition of Krampuslauf, a parade where people dress as the creature and roam the streets.
