A humorous Krampus holiday card with a darker twist on Christmas gift-giving. The image shows Krampus in a snowy nighttime scene with torches burning in the background, creating an atmospheric winter setting. Krampus with his characteristic large curved horns, pointed ears, and reddish face and menacing grin showing his fangs and red eyes that glow in the firelight. Dark shaggy fur covering his body. He's holding a wrapped present that's quite ominous - black wrapping paper decorated with white skull patterns and tied with a red ribbon. The text below reads "Santa gives gifts. Krampus gives TRAUMA" with "TRAUMA" in large yellow/orange letters, flanked by small skull icons on either side. This card plays on the contrast between Santa's benevolent gift-giving tradition and Krampus's role as the punisher of naughty children in Alpine folklore. The skull-patterned gift box serves as a visual pun - suggesting that while Santa brings joy, Krampus brings something much more sinister.
