Hi!

Happy Holidays to all who weren't able to join the session until the end !

...thank you for the word "Krampus" - which I didn't know because it is Austrian ! (my dictionary says). And it is NOT equal to Saint Nicolas !

This is the punishing companion of St. Nicholas, in Germany this figure is called "Knecht Ruprecht" (Knecht = servant, related to engl. "knight"), "Hans Muff" or in some regions "Pelznickel" ("Nickel" referring to "Nicholas").

...but I don't have to fear him, because this guy comes on Dec. 6th already !

Also best wishes for the New Year,

Ingolf
