The Dark side of Christmas! (Atheista only)
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
They are coming to town to get you ..
For a bit of diversity, I present you a bit different Christmas contest - not so jolly and merry rather dark and scary.
Everyone has heard of Santa but not so many are familiar with the darker Christmas characters. Most cultures/countries have someone or something they scare their kids on this holiday season. I will name some below for inspiration but you can get your creativity running and create something complete new and never heard of.
*Krampus is a horned, anthropomorphic figure in Alpine folklore who, during the Christmas season, scares children who have misbehaved. He is hairy, usually brown or black, and has the cloven hooves and horns of a goat. His long, pointed tongue lolls out, and he has fangs.
*Frau Perchta, sometimes known as “the Belly-Slitter” for the trademark punishment she's said to inflict on disobedient or lazy children, is figure of Alpine folklore of Austria and Germany. She can appear as beautiful young woman, or as an old crone but she can always be identified by the fact that one of her feet is a goose or swan feet. Good children can expect to get a few coins from her but lazy folks or those who disrespects her a severe punishment.
*Pere Fouettard - "Father Whipper"
he's a French version of Hans Trapp. Also purportedly based on historical figure, he was said to have been, in life, an evil butcher who craved the flesh of children to eat. According to legend, he invites three boys inside his butcher shop and then kills them, cuts them up, and puts them into a stew. St. Nicholas catches him in the act and brings the boys back to life. After that St. Nicholas forces him to travel along with him as punishment for his crimes giving lumps of coal and/or beatings to naughty children. Often described as a disheveled-looking brute in black robes, either a black or red beard, who carries a martinet (whip style).
*Gender-bender perchten is a dual - gender spirit who comes out during the 12days of Christmas. Schonperchten ("Beautiful Perchten") is female. She gives gifts and brings good luck. Schiachperchten ("Ugly perchten") is a male and punishes the sinful.
The list could go on and one but you get the idea. Some sample looks from me.
