Who is Krampus?

Krampus is known as the bad Santa he comes on December 5th and goes around looking for naughty children and takes them back to his lair until the 21st of December. The name Krampus comes from the German krampen, which means “claw”. I learned of Krampus while watching a tv show a few years go. You can google Krampus and find out all about him. They have parades and festivals for Krampus at this time of year.

You can also put a hanger on the back of the Krampus and hang him on your tree or cut several out and make them to put on a string garland to hang on your mantle.
