Odd Christmas celebrations one probably won't see in New Mexico or many places around the US but some of us may be familiar based upon our experiences and or heritage.
If this tradition doesn't scare kids into behaving who knows what will. In Austro-Bavarian Alpine folklore, the Krampus is Father Christmas’s scary friend, a devilish creature who punishes naughty children throughout the festive period. The mythical beast, who is hairy, with hooves and large horns, is ‘celebrated’ every year on the fifth of December in many cities throughout Germany and Austria in a festival named Krampusnacht, the Christmas season begins often marked with a parade in which hundreds dress up as Krampus and chase each other through the streets.
In Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, revellers travel to early-morning church services on roller skates throughout the festive period. Roads are even closed off especially on mornings between 16 December and Christmas Eve as an unusual Christmas occurrence
In Portugal, a more religious Christmas is also a time for remembrance, as families set extra places at the dining table on Christmas Eve (or sometimes on Christmas morning) for deceased relatives. The practice is called consoda and is thought to bring the family good luck, with a meal, consisting of salted cod, potato and a range of regional desserts.
Ukrainian Christmas trees are traditionally decorated with a fake spider and web. The custom, which is said to bring good luck, stems from an old wives’ tale about a poor woman who could not afford to decorate her tree. She woke up on Christmas morning to find a spider had covered it in a glittering web.
And finally a traditional Scandinavian Christmas symbol, the Yule goat was believed to have been a spirit that would appear before the festive season to make sure that celebrations were carried out correctly. In later centuries, the goat’s role was as a gift-giver, before eventually being replaced by Father Christmas. Nowadays, small goats made out of straw are popular tree decorations throughout Scandinavia.

we have an inner city?
Now why would a supposedly politically neutral publication post a classified help wanted ad for a politician? Especially when the publication has no other classified ads.
2nd Life Media is just another propaganda arm of the Democrat party, it shows in everything they post.
Chris has made many attempts to be politically neutral. The article is news, even though it is about a yesman.
What make it news? I see an ad for employment.
If it was a news story it might list other elected officials seeking interns, or problems they have with finding qualified individuals. Or it might mention problems people are having in starting a career in politics.
Patting yourself on the back for your activism, how nice.
Where's your concern for accountability from the state or federal EPA?
speaking of patting oneself on the back....your enthusiasm for activism is quite apparent.
Your ignorance is truly amazing, your post makes no sense at all.
The state is using it's authority against the Air Force, suing the AF to take a remedial action it's already engaged in.
The lawsuit is based on what appears to be a fraudulent EPA regulation enacted without scientific input.
DEI is alive and well in New Mexico.
The 2 inaugural recipients of the award are indeed worthy of praise and recognition. Their accomplishments stand out in agriculture overall, not just a small subset.
that's because tolerance, and live-and-let-live are still the default setting for the majority of our citizens - and i count that as a plus, neighbor.
Your ignorance is amazing.
How is a state agency discriminating based on gender a gesture of tolerance?
This will be the third time I've posted a comment on this article.
My comments are being deleted because I'm calling out Torrez and 2nd Life Media for false statements.
Actually, your comments are irrelevant as you do not even post who you are. Are you related to Couy or Barb?
