Everyone (re: ME!) loves an evil twin, but the hooven other half to St. Nicholas is more than just the holly-jolly man’s inverted reflection. Krampus represents what comes for the naughty – birch rod beatings and perhaps a ride in his stinky sack. All in all, live-action fantasy tavern Tiny Minotaur’s celebration of this GOAT of Christmas comeuppance promises to be much, MUCH nicer than the “man” himself. Join them either for free (members) or for the price of a day pass ($15) to engage in a Krampus mini quest, a pastry potluck, and delicious drink specials found nowhere else in the realm. Minotaur notes, however, “You are not REQUIRED to bring treats for Krampus, but if you don’t: we cannot guarantee your safety.”– James Scott
