The Krampus Box - the demonic origins of the elf on the shelf.

“The idea was very simple; during the build-up to St Nicholas Day on the 6th December, the box would be placed on the fireplace next to the stockings. If a child was naughty they would have their name written on paper or their photograph placed inside the box where it would remain until the next sunrise. In the dark frozen winters of Europe, the next sunrise could be days, so once you were in the box there was no telling when you would get out. If you were unfortunate to still be in the box on the 5th December, also known as Krampusnacht, you would be punished and The Krampus would come for you. During Krampusnacht the Krampus would visit each home and look in each box to see if any photographs or names had been left. If there was he would snatch the named naughty child as they slept and drag them to hell in his sack. As you can imagine, the box was so effective that there was never any need to place anything inside it! It’s an ingenious idea and much more palatable than having a grinning pink plastic elf ‘checking up on you’ every day.”

The Goat in The Garage

So if the Elf on the Shelf is not bad enough there is now an alternative to get your kids to behave during this Christmas season, just put a goat in your garage! Yup, you read that correctly, a goat (the symbolism to this in unreal). The concept is to buy a goat along with food and hay and put in your garage for the month of December. The kids that mis-behave have to clean up the goat’s mess everyday. God’s people to need wake up and see the dangers of brining all these useless traditions into their homes get back to God’s Word.

THE GOAT IN THE GARAGE: A PRACTICAL ALTERNATIVE TO THE ELF ON THE SHELF

BY NOW YOU’VE PROBABLY HEARD OF THE POPULAR CHRISTMAS TRADITION, KNOWN AS THE ELF ON THE SHELF.

If you don’t know what the Elf on the Shelf is, let me sum it up for you. The Elf on the Shelf is an adorable, (albeit overpriced) little toy that sits on your shelf during the month of December. His job is to watch your kids behavior during the day, report back to Santa at night, and make snow angels on your living room floor with the entire contents of your pantry. Isn’t that just so adorable?

Even though we chose not to participate in the Elf on the Shelf tradition (my kids say it’s creepy), I totally get the appeal. Really, I do. The popular Christmas song, “Santa Claus is coming to Town” just isn’t cutting it anymore. Every year, less and less naughty kids are getting coal in their stockings. It’s a travesty. “ This year, don't let your kids have it easy with that elf on the shelf charade. Trust me, the goat in the garage is exactly what you need to have perfectly well-behaved children each year.” - Danelle Wolford
