This 3" square ornament features a striking illustration of the Krampus, a half-goat, half-demon creature from Central and Eastern European folklore who punishes naughty children during the Advent season. The ornament is framed by a ivory lattice edging that adds contrast and elegance.

The ornament also says “Gruss Vom Krampus” which means “Greetings from Krampus in German. This is a common phrase used on Krampus cards that were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

On the reverse side of the ornament, you will find a special holiday poem that reads:
On the night before Christmas, when children are asleep. There is a dark and dreadful creature that begins to creep. He is not Santa Claus, who brings gifts and joy He is the holiday Krampus, who punishes the naughty girls and boys. He has horns and fur and a long, lashing tongue. He carries a sack and a bundle of birch, to capture and whip the young. He is the shadow of Saint Nicholas, the opposite of his grace. He is the holiday Krampus, who puts children in their place.

Each ornament is made of high-quality porcelain and comes with a ribbon for easy hanging. It’s a perfect gift for yourself or someone who loves horror and mythology. Spice up your holiday decor with this unique and spooky ornament from Galena Christmas Company! 🎄🎁
