What better way to fete the vacation time of year than with a parade ? What I mean is , a parade reward Santa ’s long - tongued brute sidekick who gobbles up all the really bad children ?
The Krampus is a vacation fixture that ’s popular in the Germanic countries . Created to really enforce the whole “ better watch out ” Christmas ideology , the Krampus is the pure evilness that must exist to balance out St. Nick ’s arrant goodness .

Legend has it that when the Krampus discover a bad - Malus pumila tiddler , he grabs the yearling with his natural language , throws the kid in a chemise , and takes them back to his house for dinner . My parents actually threaten my little sister and I with Krampus tales on Saint Nicholas Day . Because what ’s the level of having minor if you ca n’t destroy Christmas for them , right ?
Krampus Parades have been toss off up in US urban center like Philadelphia and Seattle , but none can hold a candela to the fete in Graz , Austria . The fire , costumes , wickedness sled , and Baron Snow of Leicester make for one hell of a monster show . Check out the footage here . I wish I holiday - partied as hard as the good kinfolk in Graz .
