Santa and his crew "to bring luck to the good and punish the idle"
For a second there I thought this was one of those Capitla One commercials with the HUNS attacking....then I saw it is just Germans



A man dressed as 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
