History of Christmas R S 373 (43340)
History of Christmas R S 373 (43340) Semester: Fall 2018 Instructor: Brent Landau Description: This course will explore the evolution of the modern Christmas holiday, beginning with the birth stories of Jesus in the New Testament and concluding with the supposed “War on Christmas” that some recent commentators believe has sought to remove the Christian religious roots of the holiday. Topics to be addressed include: non-Christian antecedents to and influences on Christmas; canonical and apocryphal stories about Jesus’ birth and childhood; the designation of Christmas on Dec. 25th in the fourth century; the raucous and subversive character of early-modern Christmas celebrations and their suppression by the Puritans; the fixing of the current American version of Christmas in the nineteenth and twentieth century; the contemporary debate over the constitutionality of religious Christmas displays in public places.

Christmas with Krampus!
Christmas With Krampus! All Threshold agents treasure what little time they get away from the job, and Christmas is certainly no ex- ception. Something seems to have gone wrong though. First the strange scraping at the door, and now the boisterous sounds of the children dancing about the tree have turned to screams of terror! All the good gear is locked up elsewhere - have to make do with what’s at hand.... Requirements: This scenario may be played between December 5th, when Krampus makes his first appearance, and January 1st, when you’re probably sick of Christmas and don’t want to think about it any longer! Lurkers: One Krampus (download this profile - and Children - from the Strange Aeons website) Set Up: The Threshold player may use any one model from their list, including Special Agents, equipped with only its basic weapons (ie. those included with its profile). The Threshold player places a Christmas tree at the centre of the table. Three Unopened Gifts are then placed within 4” of the tree (but never closer than 2” from another gift), and three Children (controlled by Threshold) are placed within 2” of the tree, but never in base-to-base with a Gift or another Child. The Threshold player then chooses a short edge and places their model 5” in. Finally, Krampus is placed anywhere on the board at least 12” from any child. Special Rules: Your Threshold agent is home for the holidays, and a bit ill-prepared to take on Krampus! Perhaps those holiday goodies around the house might be of some use..

These events center around the figure of the Krampus, a beast-like, punishing “devil” that accompanies St. Nicholas on December 5, the eve of his feast day. By 2010, groups of people in US cities were staging their own Krampusnacht processions in downtown areas, referencing the European enactments while simultaneously innovating their embodiments to meaningfully interact with the Christmas season in the United States. Participation in these events increases annually and the Krampus figure’s presence online and in popular media is on the rise.

Irish Journal of Gothic and Horror Studies 15 (Autumn 2016) FILM REVIEWS (Please note that reviews may contain spoilers) He Never Died (Dir. by Jason Krawczyk) USA/Canada 2015 Alternate Ending Studios And the Lord said, ‘What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to me from the ground. And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength; you shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.’ –Genesis 4. 10-12 When it comes to entertainment, the only thing more commercial then sex is violence. And in the thousands of years since the Bible documented its first slaying, this seemingly insatiable desire to watch or read about homicide seems to remain unquenched. From Midsommer Murders (1997-present) to Memento (2000), and from Silence of the Lambs (1991) to Silent Witness (1996), there’s nothing more commercially profitable, it seems, then depicting a good murder. Tapping into primal and animalistic instincts, the representation of murder draws upon a sense that the human condition is to be fundamentally flawed, and suggests that such universal emotions as greed, jealousy, lust, and pride motivate a significant number of murders. The Old Testament figure of Cain, supposedly the first murderer (of his brother Abel), was forever cursed to ‘be a fugitive and a wanderer of the earth’ for all eternity.1 Cain’s story of fraternal betrayal and antagonism is one commonly represented in films such as Bloodline (2005), Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead (2007), We Own the Night (2007), and the Broadway musical Blood Brothers (1983-present).

Tis the Season to Be Pagan Christmas and Its Origins
‘Tis the Season to be Pagan: Christmas and Its Origins By Lady Alissa Catron ©Ark of Covenant Ministries 2013 Introduction Christmas is a time that is greatly looked forward to each year, because it is a special day set aside to celebrate, honor, rejoice and observed the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Although it is a day to celebrate Jesus, it has been discovered that the December 25th date has roots in paganism. For a number of years, Pastor Catron of Ark of Covenant Ministries has uncovered and taught about the aspects of Christmas that shed light on these pagan roots, to aid the Christian in becoming aware, in an effort to help believers serve the Lord in truth. The findings in this document are a reflection of those efforts. Christmas as Believers Observe and Celebrate it Among Christians, Christmas is a time to celebrate, recognize, honor, and praise Jesus, the Son of the Living God, our Savior and Redeemer, specifically in His birth. The birth of Jesus holds such importance, because, simply put, the coming of Jesus would be the resolution to the issue of sin and its cause that separates us from God. “A disease has infected the entire human race, and it is terminal in every case. That disease is sin. However, there is a cure, an antidote—the blood of Jesus Christ” (Evans 288). The Bible tells us in Romans 6:23 that “the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” His death, burial, and resurrection are the foundation upon which our salvation lies in that in His death, He was the atonement for our sins, His burial as proof of His death, and His resurrection as “our ‘receipt’ from God the Father that He accepted His Son’s payment for sin on the cross” (Evans 292).

Krampus: Christmas' Most Terrifying Tradition
HAVE GERMAN WILL TRAVEL WEIHNACHTEN "Bei uns ist immer was los!" NIKOLAUSABEND-NICHOLAS EVE der 5. Dezember Krampus: Christmas' most terrifying tradition Germany famously does Christmas extremely well, with its renowned seasonal markets conjuring images of toasty gingerbread and steaming mugs of Gliihwein. But Germany's love for yuletide folklore has a dark side - and it's coming out on Thursday night. Santa Claus may already be preparing to carry presents to good children everywhere, but in southern Germany another legendary character has different ideas. The legendary Krampus, usually described as a beast-like, demonic figure with long goats' horns and straggly hair, comes to capture naughty children and carries them off in a sack to his mountain lair, according to Alpine tradition. - Stories of the Krampus talk of him coming out to punish bad children around the eve of St. Nicholas' day. Traditionally young men across south Bavaria, as well as south Tyrol and Austria don big hairy costumes and homed masks during the first week of December to act the part of the fearsome creature in an especially scary pre-Christmas celebration of Germanic folklore. Dressing up as the Krampus, or his fellow monster the noisy, gnarly-faced Perchten, has been part of southern German tradition for centuries but in recent years the practice has caused a stir, with the troll-like Perchten banned from a Christmas market in Wolfratshausen, Bavaria in 2008 for scaring children into "crying fits," according to Munich's Tageszeitung newspaper. However, friends of the gruesome beasts said a little scare was no bad thing.
