To say rewarding insinuates to me that I was doing something for a reaction. While that is partly true it’s just plain fun to share traditions with my kids. No my family aside from a few Southern Germans were from the Alps, but it doesn’t matter. Instead of watching some ridiculous movie or have someone else tell them, I lit a little tea light shadow caster and told them a story myself. To first scare them then reassure them if they’re good kids Krampus won’t even come will have me smiling for a week. Tradition is fun. Our culture is fun. Being White is fun. Have fun. Fröhliche Krampusnacht!
