Twitterer @RonSalas retweeted an old Christmas card @CalamityJon created a few years ago.

The Krampus is an old myth that the Venture Brothers introduced us to a few years ago. Take a walk through YouTube and you’ll find tons of contemporary parade and Traditional Krampus videos all up in there.

Now imagine our surprise when we learned obscure mythologist writer most extraordinary, Neil Gaiman, did not know of the Krampus.

@neilhimself whaaaa?!Really?!*I* knew about Krampus… how can this be?! #DogsAndCatsLivingTogether #NothingMakesSenseAnymore

We’re still reeling from this revelation. Reality as we know it may never recover.
