Only a Germanic culture would think to pair something like this with jolly old St. Nick:
"In some rural areas the tradition also includes birching by Krampus, especially of young females."
Yeah, that's right. Feel free to also read that article on birching; you'll be impressed by how long it is.
"Traditionally, young men dress up as the Krampus in the first two weeks of December, particularly in the evening of December 5, and roam the streets frightening children and women with rusty chains and bells."
