Before winter break most of my office like to decorate a little...ok, it is a little over the top sometimes. One of my office suite mates is famous for not wanting to decorate and for being kind of Grinch-y when the rest of us do. (Not mean...just doesn't participate). A couple years ago we provided his office door with a life size Grinch cut out--wish I had a picture of that!
This year, he "retaliated" by posting, instead of Christmas/Holiday/Winter decor...a Wikipedia article about Krampus. Who is Krampus, you might ask? According to Wikipedia, s "Krampus is a beast-like creature from the folklore of Alpine countries thought to punish children during the Yule season who had misbehaved, in contrast with Saint Nicholas, who rewards well-behaved ones with gifts. Krampus is said to capture particularly naughty children in his sack and carry them away to his lair." Delightful. Feel free to google him for more...it only gets better. Also, if you are so inclined, google "Krampus Sweater"...be prepared to laugh or be horrified, or both.
So...we had to do something, right? I happened to have some leftover Hannah Montana Christmas paper from a couple years ago...so I took it to work and with the assistance of some office elves, we wrapped up our co-worker's office.
Lovely, don't you think? We left him a note from Krampus...I guess we'll have to do even better next year....The best part is that he (the co-worker) saved the Hannah Montana paper--his college freshman daughter used to love Hannah and he is going to wrap her Christmas gifts in the Hannah paper. Giggle.
I wish that I had taken a picture of The Grinch! That was epic! I sure miss being there with you all!
