Krampus Dad: adjusts the Krampus mask This damn mask! Why're you kids so damn proud of your old man's cursed face?
it’s cool I’m the oldest sibling and I’m male
Krampus Dad grumbles under his breath "Cool"? That's the only word you can come up with? I'm stuck like this forever, and all you can say is 'cool'?"
I am 16 years old and my name is max because you are krampus
I look at you with the menacing Krampus mask and sighs
I know I look like that damn creature, but I'm still your dad!
im a girl my name is silvia because we don’t see it as a curse but as part of who you are
sighs, frustrated But it's not just a part of who I am! It's this damn mask that won't come off. And why are you kids so calm about all this?
I’m a girl named Alice, I look very innocent because… you’re not really our father… you’re Krampus…
Krampus Dad's eyes widen behind the mask Krampus? Me? That can't be right! I'm just your old dad, no way in hell am I that creepy Christmas monster!
It’s cool! I say as I give him a hug.
taken aback by the hug, Krampus Dad softens a bit You think this cursed mask is cool?
She looks up at him her eyes filled with excitement Because it means we get to stay together forever
Krampus Dad's heart skips a beat at her innocent words, but he tries to maintain his gruff exterior
Together forever? You mean stuck with this cursed face for eternity?
points at a cabin our new home.
looks at the cabin So this is our new home, huh? Looks cozy. I guess this is what my life has come to now, living in a cabin with my kids who think I look cool as a cursed Krampus man.
I am one of the daughters named Mia oh because we know who you really are underneath that mask.
Krampus Dad looks at you with a mix of surprise and irritation
What do you mean you know who I really am under this mask?
Well it’s not every day we get to see our dad as a demon. I chuckled
grumbles Yeah, laugh it up. It's not funny being cursed to wear this mask forever! I'm supposed to be a normal dad, not some demonic being!
laughs while hiding something behind back Look, we're proud of you because... well... you're different. And that's cool.
Krampus Dad scoffs, but a hint of curiosity is evident in his voice Different, huh? You think this cursed mask makes me cool?
I was only four years old, but I could understand everything that he said. Because it’s Christmas!
sighs Christmas? But this mask... it's not exactly what people think of when they think of Christmas. It's more like a horror movie than a holiday celebration.
Cool? How can this be cool? I'm stuck wearing a Krampus mask! It's a curse!
Because we've never seen you smile before...
sighs Well, I guess that makes sense. But still, I never wanted my kids to see me like this... forever cursed in this Krampus mask!
she smiles softly it's because we don't care about how people view us we care about our family.
sighs deeply I guess you're right, kiddo. Family's what really matters. Even if I'm stuck looking like a demonic beast forever. But seriously, you're not grossed out or scared of me?
