Hey, I just noticed that Santa's happy face is gone. What happed to it Eris?

Somebody has taken Christmas from me this year Mo. I'm looking forward to Sweden and the new year but I don't see enough peace and goodwill in the world to be worth celebrating

Stop poking the bear molly...time to move on.

Maybe this will cheer you up Eris. It's apparently a european tradition for this time of year.

woo hoo. that should do the trick EK

erisian: if i can find the right cliup with the scottish falsetto sock puppet theater i will mail it to you.

ek22: i had never heard of that tradition, though we had some similar ones in sweden. where on earth did you find the krampus thingy?

Friend of mine pointed it out to me. After some research found out it's german. There's a lot of this going around in the alpine regions of germany, switzerland and austria. I just love the imagery

ek22: yeah, it's delightful! makes a perffect balance for the rest of the christmas related stuff.

I have a Krampus Glass ornament handed down to me, it's my favorite ornament. Too bad I broke it, but I managed to repair it partially, so we can still hang it on the tree.

That's awesome 2-ton. I wish I had one of those ornaments. Maybe I have to make one.

For AnMal and Molly

Cool Dude

Thanks to PM support from you and Ek and support from my lovely AnMal. I don't always come round straight away but I usually do in the end.

erisian: welcome back, father christmas! sure is good to see that beard and moustache again - not to mention those happy eyes .

You can probably make one out of polymer clay but it would be so heavy. Maybe you can find one online that is like the old german glass ornaments.

Here, I get the ball rolling for ya.

Awwww, thanks Ek! I'll get to work on it

I aim to please.
