The Krampus
Welcome to our first ever holiday season special, and this time we are diving into the mythology, lore, and origins of the European Alpine and Pagan shadow of the Patron Saint of Children. The Krampus has a deep origin that possibly spans back to biblical times and most people aren't talking about it. But of course that's not how we do things here on IRH. Now, sit back grab your loved ones, your hot coco and start up the fire place. Tonight we see if our children have been good behind our backs. An of course, welcome back to Infinite Rabbit Hole!
