Saint Nicholas and 20 people in traditional Bavarian attire known as 'Buttenmandl' and 'Krampusse' at a parade in the southern German town of Berchtesgaden December 6, 2004. Buttenmandl and Krampusse consist of animal skins and masks attached to large cow-bells used to make loud and frightening noises, and are worn by young single men. They follow Saint Nicholas from house to house on December 5 and 6 each year to bring luck to the good and punish the idle. REUTERS/Alexandra Winkler

thats pretty cool I havnt heard that story since I was a child living in Germany

That has gotta scare the shit out of little kids

man, if they did that shit here maybe kids would behave for a change.

If I saw those guys walking down the street,,I'd be scared:glugglug

Whoa those are crazy ass suits.

Did it mention the part where in Holland Santa stuffs all the bad kids into a sack and drops them all off in Spain?

Hitler had his winter residence in Berchtesgaden...

Holy shit. If i was a kid those things would terrify the fuck out of me.

Not much 'christmas spirit' then.

Those guys look no different to the guys in slipknot.

It's actually a pretty cool tradition to see it. The little kids get dressed up and run all over the town square chasing everyone.
