This first happened in a small town in the state of Alaska. But similar incidents have been observed in other countries around the world, namely India, Canada, England, Ukraine, Philippines and Indonesia.
Arriving at the crime scene, the police would find one and the same thing: dismembered bodies of the family members. Most of the children would be found dd along with their families. Streets becoming lifeless and silent.
The state police gave the kllr a name The Yule Man. The Object known to the Foundation as SCP-4666.

SCP-4666 is a tall elderly male of European descent, with an extremely emaciated appearance.
SCP-4666 activity occurs exclusively within a period of 12 consecutive nights every year, from the night of December 21-22 to the night of January 1-2; this period is known as SCP-4666’s “active phase”. During this phase, in what are termed "Weissnacht Events", SCP-4666 will appear at dwellings in one or multiple locations.

At first SCP-4666 would watch the house, where some of the children might even see him through the window at night.
Having watched the house for twelve nights, SCP-4666 would kll the entire family save for one child under the age of 8, whom it will abduct. The method of kllng varies depending the event, and will typically be preceded by some form of trtr, which appears to serve a ritualistic purpose.

After the mrdr, SCP-4666 leaves the scene with one of the children.
All attempts to find any trace SCP-4666 were futile. Relatives and neighbors of the butchered families and missing children say that the torn up drawings were found in victim’s houses.
Apparently some of the children saw and sketched the Object many times as he watched their homes.
The case had a breakthrough when one of the police officers found a boy, who was hiding in a basement of an abandoned house for a long time.
From a testimony of a child it was established that he was able to escape the captivity of SCP-4666.
Unfortunately, the boy dd in a hospital, but prior to his dth, was able to describe what happens to the children abducted SCP-4666.
Children have to constantly fashion handcrafted toys. The materials provided for this task are bones, muscles and other parts of the children who have died in captivity. SCP-4666 provides scarce rations, not nearly enough for all the captive children, so most of them starve. The children have attempted to escape, but all of these attempts ended up in failure. Those who were caught would be tortured and almost always they would become material for a new toy.

The boy said that SCP-4666 kept them in caves, located under some abandoned factory, but having investigated all the caves in the State the Foundation officers were not able to find any trace of neither the kids nor the Object.
At the time of this recording, the abductions and murders still continue. If your family has small children - be cautious. SCP-4666 is still at large.
