Write a spooky story about Austria’s legend of Krampus, Saint Nicholas’s dark companion who punishes naughty children during Christmas season.
A reflection of the ‘naughty or nice’ culture, this demon-like creature embodies fear and punishment contrasted against the joy and gifts of Christmas. Exploit the thrilling aspects and tensions; does it bring a community or a family closer, or does it evoke rebellion? Is there an unexpected hero who stands up to Krampus? This darker shade of Christmas can birth tales of courage, challenge, and triumph.
