In winter’s chill, when snowflakes fall,
Santa rides with joy to all.
With sleigh and gifts, he lights the night,
Bringing warmth and festive light.

But close behind, in shadow’s veil,
Krampus walks with frost and hail.
His chains they rattle, his breath is cold,
A tale of fright, both fierce and old.

For Santa brings the gifts and cheer,
To those whose hearts are bright and clear.
But Krampus watches, grim and sly,
For naughty ones who cheat and lie.

One with laughter, one with dread,
Together on their paths they tread.
For every joy, a lesson stern,
From kindness given, or harshly earned.

So heed the tale, both sweet and grim,
Of Santa’s warmth and Krampus’ hymn.
For in the season’s magic blend,
Both light and shadow find their end
