Austria: Evil parade
As for Christmas, what we first think of is the kind Santa Claus with a smile and a white beard. The Austrian way of celebrating Christmas is quite different. People will wear a terrifying mask representing Krampus during the celebration parade. Krampus is known to prefer corporal punishment and will scare and punish naughty children on the street.
