Families are welcome in the earlier hours, and after dark, the celebration turns up a notch, so bring your friends, your holiday spirit, and maybe your horns.
In the Alpine regions of Europe, St. Nicholas Day is always preceded by an evening for the yuletide ghoul, Krampus, to pass judgment upon the naughty list in an evening of revelry.
Who is Krampus?
Krampus is a horned, anthropomorphic figure in Central and Eastern Alpine folklore who, during the Christmas season, scares children who have misbehaved.
Assisting Santa Claus, the pair visit children on the night of December 5, with Saint Nicholas rewarding the well-behaved children with modest gifts such as oranges, dried fruit, walnuts and chocolate, while the badly behaved ones only receive punishment from Krampus.
