Krampus Night
π About This Tradition
On December 5th (Krampusnacht), the demon Krampus - a horned, anthropomorphic figure in Alpine folklore - roams the streets punishing misbehaving children. This contrasts with St. Nicholas (who visits on December 6th) rewarding good children. Krampus is often depicted with chains, bells, and a bundle of birch branches.
