He’s got horns, hooves, and a serious attitude problem — and no, it’s not your uncle after too much eggnog. In this festive (and slightly spooky) episode of The Gen X Couple, Robin and Chris unwrap the centuries-old legend of Krampus, the Christmas creature who’s half-goat, half-demon, and fully committed to scaring naughty kids straight.

From his ancient pagan roots in the snowy Alps to his modern-day glow-up as a horror movie star, Krampus has been haunting holiday traditions for centuries — and we’re diving into it all. Expect laughter, folklore, and a few gentle shivers as we explore how this not-so-jolly figure became Santa’s sinister sidekick.

So grab your cocoa, light the tree, and get ready for a holiday tale that proves Christmas cheer sometimes comes with a side of fear.
