Ed loved the Christmas Krampus. It does put Elf on the Shelf to shame. Krampus walks the streets in search of delinquent children during Krampusnacht on November 30. Krampus is a demon-like creature represented by a fearsome, hand-carved wooden mask with animal horns, a suit made from sheep or goat skin and large cow bells attached to the waist that the wearer rings by running or shaking his hips up and down. Krampus has been a part of Central European, alpine folklore going back at least a millennium, and since the 17th-century Krampus traditionally accompanies St. Nicholas and angels on the evening of December 5 to visit households to reward children that have been good while reprimanding those who have not. theatlantic/infocus/2013/12/krampus-saint-nicholas-dark-companion/100639/
