| | "CHRISTMAS" - A SAMPLE
OF HOW - APOSTATE CHRISTENDOM
MAKES A PACT WITH THE "DEVIL" 
"Pope Gregory...advised Saint Augustine to allow his
converts certain festivals... as formerly they had done this
in honor of the devil...
Saint Augustine...permitted their usual December celebration
under the new name...
From these early pagan...ceremonies are derived many
of the English holiday customs that have survived
to our day."
- The Evolution of Christmas; Published in 1909 OLD SAINT NICK - "Nick or Old Nick is a well-known appellation of the Devil.
The name appears to have been derived from the Dutch Nikken,
the devil, which again comes from the Anglo-Saxon nac-an,
to slay--for as Wachter says the devil was "a murderer from the beginning."

- The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language:
Fourth Edition. 2000 KRAMPUS AND SANTA - 
"Considering Santa you cannot miss his "alter ego",
who has followed him like a dark shadow since ancient
times. There is a devil, called Percht, Bartl, Krampus,
Knecht Ruprecht, or Rotsohler, accompanying Santa Claus
in the European Alps. He shows the pre-Christian origin
of this custom as a daemon trabant, who wears a costume
with horseshoe, basket, and chains, acting as a traditional
symbol for the coming of winter. We should mention here
also another figure: Ruebezahl, a German mythical, giant-
like person, who is a mixture of Krampus and Santa."
- Santa's Origin ; by Sepp Rothwangl 
"Ruebezahl" - The German God
Ruebezahl, a German mythical, giant-
like person, who is a mixture of Krampus(Satan) and Santa."
ST. NICHOLAS AND KRAMPUS 
"Enter Krampus or Grampus, who is a hairy devil
with a long tongue, a tail, and is often in chains
and carrying a switch. Krampus accompanies Santa Claus
or Saint Nicholas and as Santa disperses justice on
good children by rewarding them with gifts, so does
Krampus reward the bad people by beating them
with his switch of sharp sticks."
-- ephemera ; by Pamela Apkarian-Russell "You know Santa: cheeks like a rose, nose like a cherry.
Now meet the Krampus, a boozy goat-horned menace
that whips children around Europe."
- Santa's Not-So-Little Helper; by Clay Risen

"Santa... he's got a list, he's checking it twice,
and if you fall under the 'naughty' category
it's switches and coals for you. But what child in America
is at all afraid of receiving a lump of coal under the
tree? What child even knows what a 'switch' is?
Alpine Europe, on the other hand, doesn't have this
problem. This is because years ago St. Nick's job was
split - while the jolly old elf delivered the goods,
an evil, goat-horned spirit called the Krampus brought
switches and bad dreams to the boys and girls of Austria,
southern Germany, Switzerland, and far northern Italy."

"In Czech and Slovak traditions, a shaggy furred devil
with horns, tail, and a long red tongue comes along with
Saint Nicholas. He has a staff to threaten punishment."
- Saint Nicholas Center; Discovering the Truth About
Santa Claus 
"In this country, St. Nicholas has been
thoroughly domesticated as jolly Santa Claus,
but in Europe he still travels with a ferocious
frightening creature named Krampus...
Krampus - usually dressed in fur
with a long red tongue and tail
and rattles chains - scaring and scolding
naughty children and threatening them
with birch branches. They often retaliate
by throwing snowballs at him.
In the bad old days, naughty children were put
in Krampus's black bag. Now, its all pleasantly
threatening, a sort of combination of
Halloween and Christmas."

between Christ and the Devil ? "
