The song lyrics have never been truer. Oh You better watch out, You better not cry, You better not pout, I'm telling you why. Yet it isn't Santa Claus that you have to watch out for - it is his sinister sidekick - Krampus. He has a whip, and he is going to use it.
But where did the legend of the Krampus originate? The word itself comes from 'krampen' and is from Old High German. It means claw. Krampus is an incubus who accompanies Santa Claus, but does not follow the old man's prerogative of present giving.
