  Saint Nicholas and Krampus: The...

  One of the most important figures constantly brought up during the Christmas season is Saint Nicholas, despite the fact most people know little about him. In the 21st century, Saint Nicholas (or as people often refer to him, “Jolly Old Saint Nick”) has been reduced to a pretend, adorably portly grandfather-type, a visual often accompanied by a fleet of magical reindeer and a bustling workshop staffed by endlessly cheerful elves. Most assume, quite understandably, that Saint Nicholas was the fount of inspiration that Santa Claus' myth weavers steadily drank from over the centuries. While this is accurate to some extent, it is important to remember that the parallels between Saint Nicholas and the present-day Santa Claus marketed by mass media are actually quite limited. 
  After Nicholas of Myra’s death, December 6 became his feast day, and over the centuries, children anticipated his appearance with gifts. However, other children, particularly those of the mischievous sort, trembled under their covers on December 6, because they could not look forward to tinkling sleigh bells or belly-shaking laughs. Instead, they feared the disconcerting sounds of heavy breathing, guttural growls, and rattling chains, all of which came from the terrifying Krampus. 
  Despite the best efforts of the Catholic Church and other conservative groups, Krampus is in the midst of a major Renaissance, penetrating not only modern literature, but even becoming a fixture of pop culture. This is evidenced by the creature's recent starring roles in the films Krampus, Night of the Krampus, and Mother Krampus, and its cameos in such TV shows and animations as Grimm, Supernatural, American Dad, and Venture Brothers.

  Spid hopes to make lots of money having been gifted some magic seeds by his friend Marvin the mole. However, while he toils night and day to nurture the seeds, nothing goes to plan. An old man’s forecast also rings in Spid’s ears, and in the end, he learns a valuable lesson. The story features two songs: 
  ‘Money Doesn’t Grow on Trees’ combines a rock and roll and fast-paced jazz piano vibe. It’s a fun singalong that will transport you back in time. 
  ‘Seed Greed’ is a reflective and thoughtful song. As it strums along it sends a strong message: “I’m afraid you are suffering from greed, trying to make money from seeds”.  
  What sets this adventure apart is its unique blend of entertainment combined with a moral lesson for children aged 4-10 years. In the story, Spid stumbles on what he thinks is a quick way to make money, however, he learns that greed never does anyone any good, and that he should value his lot.
