Merry Krampusnacht!
Ah, the traditions that have been lost. Somehow Krampus seems to fit more with today's in your face, mean person society.

Wait, WTF is Krampusnacht?
Krampusnacht, or Krampus Night, is a very very old holiday celebrated in Alpine countries (such as Germany, France, and Austria) during the first week of December, but particularly on December 5th and 6th. Supposedly a terrifying, horned demon-creature called Krampus accompanies St. Nicolas during his Christmas season travels.
