Long before the birth of Jesus Christ it was traditional to dress up during the winter solstice season, using masks and drama to play old man winter and the horned goat-man. St. Nicholas Day is held on December 6th, traditionally.
On the eve of this holiday, Krampusnacht (Night of Krampus), is held in Austria, Switzerland, Croatia, Germany and other areas throughout Europe celebrating an ancient ritual known as the Krampus Run.
During this winter festivity, sin-loving men and women bear torches and dress up as witches, wild beasts and devils, roaming the streets, fueled by alcohol these demons serve to spook the public at large.
Won’t you join us and celebrate being on the naughty list….

I got birched by a giant, furry Krampus at Santacon three years ago and have been obsessed with the Krampus mythos/mythology ever since! I want to go to this!

I’m not very familiar with the mythology, but a scary and alcohol filled night is ALWAYS a good time! :)
