We’re still lingering in Europe near the Alps for this #folklorefriday, as we cover The Night Folk. They are also referred to as The Night Throng, Death Throng, and Death Folk. Wearing black robes and shrouds, this solemn procession of lost souls makes their way across the land.

My little Hanukkah section is on top of the stereo.
That way, the menorah can be seen through the front window & it's where Tara can't get to it.
There will be no burnt whiskers in this house.
Also, everywhere else is overrun by Christmas 🤣

I laughed out loud, that one of WooLoop's advent levels is the Gävle Goat and it's a year that it burned.

It’s another cold night, with the threat of snow looming. Knecht Ruprecht is the Yule spirit visiting us this #folklorefriday from Germany and the Alps. He often wears a dark robe with a pointed hood and fur trim, has a bushy beard, carries a large sack, and a switch.

Tara has been feeling bad the last couple of days due to allergies. She always perks up when covered in plushies.

I managed to actually make the fudge, and it looks okay.
The real test will be when I go to cut it up tomorrow.

Finding a spider in your Christmas tree is considered to be sign of good luck that even predates this tale, with some believing it may have contributed to its origin.
Even today, many people hang spider ornaments in their Christmas trees.

Those paintings have never once left the house. He also told Mom that he was still trying to figure out who had the green woman that I painted. Again, that painting has never left my care.

Mom told me the visit was a bit awkward and she didn't recognize him at first. She said that she had to keep from laughing when he saw my paintings on the wall and exclaimed "So, that's where they went!"

Belsnickel came to America with immigration. He is known as Pelsnichol in Pennsylvania & as Beltznickle in Maryland, for example. While Belsnickel was popular in the past, parents would be more wary of a strange man coming to their door demanding their children preform for treats or get a swatting.

In keeping with the spirit of the month we’ll be covering beings of Yule for #folklorefriday. We’re starting off with Santa’s cranky, cross-dressing cousin, Belsnickel. He is known throughout Germany, France, and Switzerland.

It is the time of year when festive decorations begin popping up like weeds and you begin to wonder if there is someone you forgot on your holiday shopping list, as you begin your whirlwind of wrapping.

In 1934, Russian artist Ivan Bilibin depicted the Kikimora wearing women’s clothing, having chicken feet, hairy skin, a beak-like snout, long ears, horns, claws, and beady eyes. This image has since replaced the original in pop culture.
