Gut Krampus Nacht!

Hardly seems like a year since the last Krampus festivities! For those who don’t remember or know, Krampus is an old central European holiday on December 5 when the devil comes and takes away the bad little boys and girls – by dragging them away by their hair it would seem from these pictures. Apparently there is also something about the devil taking away women of suspect virtue as well. Punishing for sins. Meanwhile, the good children, woman of impeccable virtue, and all men are visited by good St. Nicholas instead!
