Saint Nicholas and the Krampus are folkloric figures from the Alps, where on the night of December 5 (the eve of Saint Nicholas Day), the saint rewards good children with sweets, while his demonic helpers, the Krampus (horned, hairy, and noisy creatures), scare and symbolically punish the bad ones, in a tradition that mixes Christianity and pagan rituals, especially in South Tyrol, Austria, and Friuli.
