A dog and her girl re-unite!

Gretchen, Kaitlyn’s best friend (the mini dachshund) was stolen from us two weeks and two days ago. Kaitlyn’s mother, and I, knew who was holding Kaitlyn’s puppy hostage (a person with obvious signs of alexithymia and narcissism) and asked the court’s help to get Gretchen back.

After we picked Kaitlyn and Elijah up from the bus stop this was Kaitlyn’s reaction.

Santa’s evil brother Krampus

Aside

This is how many places in Europe celebrate the holiday season: Men dressed in terrifying costumes whipping children with large birch branches then drinking heavily later on. Really, I’m good with a lump of coal.

Krampus Greeting Card

This is how Wikipedia describes this furry hell-raiser.

He is hairy, usually brown or black, and has the cloven hooves and horns of a goat. His long pointed tongue lolls out.

Krampus carries chains, thought to symbolize the binding of the Devil by the Christian Church. He thrashes the chains for dramatic effect. The chains are sometimes accompanied with bells of various sizes. Of more pagan origins are the ruten, bundles of birch branches that Krampus carries and occasionally swats children with. The ruten have significance in pre-Christian pagan initiation rites. The birch branches are replaced with a whip in some representations. Sometimes Krampus appears with a sack or a washtub strapped to his back; this is to cart off evil children for drowning, eating, or transport to Hell.
