The Dark Side of Christmas! Presented by Bob Trzeciak
2025-12-04 18:00 - 19:00
Traditionally the worst thing badly behaved American children have had to fear during the holiday season was reaching into their Christmas stocking and pulling out a lump of coal. But for children in some central European countries, the story is very different. For centuries, disobedient children in Austria and other Alpine countries have faced a truly terrifying Christmas consequence for their misbehavior — a dreaded visit from Krampus. With his curving horns, towering, hairy body, one cloven and one human foot, lolling long, red, pointed tongue and grimacing features, Krampus is a mythical figure dating back to at least the Middle Ages and possibly earlier. Call 708-448-2855 to register.
