This guy followed Father Christmas around and killed (that's right killed, or maybe ate) naughty children. They said his name, but I can't remember it now sadly. I seem to recall him having a very Nordic or Germanic name. Wish I could remember it.

I think your talking about the Krampus. Who incidentally is what the image of satan is now based off (Red skin, goatee, goats legs and horns). As far as I remember The Krampus was Germanic in origin, and would usually whip naughty people with a switch and also carried bad children off in a basket (either to eat or toss them into hell, stories vary). While Black Peter came from the netherlands, he didn't eat or punish children he usually just helped St.Nick hand out presents.

One of the Robert Rankin books (I don't remember which now, but it's a good one with Hugo Rune in it) has Father Christmas as the evil king of the fairies.

I was snoring my head off by the time you posted that! Being awake 40hrs would finish me off these days. I'd need a box of ProPlus

How come Jean eugene Roberts knows so bloody much about mythology?!?

Holy christ! 2:44 am?! WTF?

Anyhow, talking of the netherlands, I hope they win. Did I just comment on football?

Why is everything shocking me!?

That's it!! Thanks!!

I've always thought that Halloween and Christmas (my two favourite times of year) share much in common.
