   Kallikantzaros are goblins who spend the whole year underground sawing down the tree that holds up the Earth. When the tree is almost entirely cut down, they get distracted by Christmas, and come above ground around to cause mayhem.
   When they go back underground, the tree has entirely repaired itself, and they have to start all over again. This happens every year.

   One way to protect yourself against the kallikantzaros on Christmas is to leave a colander on your doorstep.
