Today on December 5th we celebrate Krampus in Austria. Naughty children get visited by this devilish looking creature and get coals and their asses beat with a bundle of rots. Good children get visited by the Nikolo (a version of St. Nick) on December 6th. There are street festivals where a bunch of people run around in very elaborate Krampus costumes. In some instances people in Krampus outfits roam the streets at night and beat people up.

I really like Krampus tradition a lot. We have really good chocolates and pastries with this demon. The Germans have a lamer version of this with just a crusty looking bearded guy called "Knecht Ruprecht". And to my knowledge they don't have chocolates in his image like we have.

Guess my OC Francesca got their hands on a Krampus costume 😅👹😈
