The Cru was joined by a hefty crowd at Bookhouse Brewing to celebrate their 100th Episode! We had an absolute blast recording this. Thanks to everyone who wrote in from afar (fan-favorites Richard Polt, Chelsea Burton Dunn, YYC Typewriter, and JW Surface) and to all who joined. Most of our guests wrote 100-word stories for our episode; we hope you enjoy them!
Adapted from Wikipedia:
Krampus The Krampus is a horned, anthropomorphic figure in the Central and Eastern Alpine folklore of Europe who, during the Advent season, scares children who have misbehaved. Assisting Saint Nicholas, or Santa Claus, the pair visit children on the night of 6 December, with Saint Nicholas rewarding the well-behaved children with gifts such as oranges, dried fruit, walnuts and chocolate, while the badly behaved ones only receive punishment from Krampus with birch rods. The history of the Krampus figure has been theorized as stretching back to pre-Christian Alpine traditions,[2][7] with celebrations involving Krampus dating back to the 6th or 7th century AD.
