Did you know pineapples were once Europe’s ultimate status symbol?🍍👑
Introduced by Columbus, they symbolized wealth and power, so rare, people rented them for display! They even inspired architecture, like Scotland’s Dunmore Pineapple.

👹🎄Who is Krampus?
Krampus, Santa’s dark counterpart, hails from Alpine folklore. Rooted in pagan winter traditions, he punishes naughty kids on Krampusnacht (Dec 5), while Saint Nick rewards the good on Dec 6. A chilling mix of pagan and Christmas traditions!
