Why The Krampus Was Really There
A Krampus Tale, Of Snow, And Santa, And What Was Really Going On That Day In Whitby
The Child Catcher was influenced by Krampus but was far more nefarious.
Everyone knows that Santa brings presents for children on Christmas night and everyone knows that the Krampus punishes and takes away the naughty children.
People think that Santa rewards the good children while Krampus steals and punishes the bad children, but that is not the whole of the story.
The children that the Krampus takes are never seen again, and on that snowy day in Whitby, those two naughty children had been taken by Krampus and put in his bike basket.
Krampus is a magical creature and he has a magic bicycle, and once his basket is full, he speeds off into the distance.
His final destination is Santa's toy factory at the North Pole and the naughty children are put into uniform and set to work making toys for the good children.
The children taken by Krampus become Santa's elves. That is a fact that Santa likes to keep quiet.
Krampus is portrayed as a monster, but he is only doing his job.
The parents who will never see their children again, blame Krampus, but the real villain of the story is Santa.
But no one will tell this story, because Santa doesn't look like a monster but Krampus does, so Santa takes all the plaudits and praise while Krampus is painted as an evil fearful monster.
This is your Christmas Revelation, but don't tell the children.

Nice twist on the Santa/Krampus dynamic. It makes me wonder what Krampus thinks of this little arrangement, if he is content with being seen as the monster or if there’s a part of him that wants to rebel. There’s potential for a sequel here.
So at what point do the tables get turned & Santa becomes identified as a "naughty child" & turned into an elf? (I guess that would be "Santa Claus 3: The Escape Claus" with Jack Frost.)
Omgggg, that was sooooo unexpected! Santa! Whoaaa, that blew my mind! Did you enter this into the Whodunit challenge?
You just blew my mind Mickeydred
Oh my! Santa is a villain - oh no!!! Great story, didn't see it coming.
