Krampus

broderic on December 23, 2015

I saw a better representation of the Krampus on an episode of Tales from the Darkside. That episode was scarier and made the Krampus more evil. Throwing wicked, dark elves, fighting snowmen, and monster ginger bread men does not make for a scare. Unfortunately, it didn’t make for a laugh as well.

Krampus wants to be this millennium’s Gremlins — a comedy frightfest. It had a simple premise — be good and believe in Santa or else his sinister cousin, the Krampus will come and bring you to hell. The Krampus is what happens to kids when they shout, cry, pout at Christmas time.

It happens quickly. The Krampus starts coming because the main kid begins to disbelieve in the spirit of Christmas. His parents ignore him. He gets teased for believing in Santa in school. His cousins are white trash hicks who also torment him. This makes for an awful Christmas Eve in which he renounces his belief in Christmas. So enters the Krampus who quickly dispatches the kids family. He fights him off. Then it ends on a terrible note ruining much of the movie.

Maybe in a few years as this gets heavy rotation around Christmas time on Chiller will this make you like it. At the moment, wait for it in a few years.

Bah, humbug!

Xmas Decosilly

Xmas Decorations

These are silly decorations. Christmas has silly decorations. Decorations are silly. But they brighten up the night. I wish I wasn’t lazy so that I would put up some decorations myself. Not these. These are too silly.

Beer Tree

Xmas Decorations

There’s beer there. There should be beer here.  But, seriously, decorate your tree with beer.  It’s the season for it.

Wreath at the Grave

Wreaths at rest

I can’t help but think of my dad…

I’m sure he would’ve been proud of me…

I’m sure he would also be repeating his last words to me…

I miss him so but more during the holidays for his heartwarming laugh. Like Santa!

Door. Wreath. Reflection of the Season?

Wreaths at rest

The wreath is hung on the door. It’s getting to be Christmas. Except the weather’s been mild — not too many cold days and too many warm days. At least it’s December.

I’m too lazy to hang holiday lights. I haven’t put up my miniature Christmas tree since ’08 or ’09. I still do the wreath on the door. And I will play some Christmas Music.

Xmas Bush

Xmas Bush

Lights go up. It’s almost Christmas time. Breaking out the cash to pay for the presents. Who gets what? Who doesn’t get anything? Those who give. Those who receive. I can’t believe this, I’m ready for snow.
