Had friends over this evening for homemade apple crisp and a round of Spite & Malice. During the course of conversation, we began talking about the origins of Santa Claus.In the spirit of finding answers, I found this information about Saint Nicklaus.
And, as the conversation also included a discussion of Nicklaus' sidekick in the Austrian version of St. Nicklaus, here is information about Krampus.
Enjoy!
