Vlogmas 2022, Day 6: St. Nicholas Day; Krampusnacht (Dec. 6, 2022)Happy St. Nicholas Day !!! (today); Not-So-Happy Krampusnacht !!! (yesterday), Dec. 6, 2022
Today (December 6, 2022) is St. Nicholas Day in Austria and Germany, and in many other countries. On this day, good children receive treats, including candy, cookies, small toys or fruit that are placed by St. Nick in stockings, socks, shoes or bags.
Yesterday (December 5, 2022) was Krampusnacht (Krampus Night), mostly in Austria and Germany. Krampus is the dark, hell-bound counterpart of St. Nicholas who on December 5 every year punishes bad children by swatting them with switches and rusty chains before dragging them in baskets to a fiery place below.
During the video, I include two photos. The first photo shows a man portraying St. Nicholas. The other photo shows someone dressed as Krampus at the Perchtenlauf, also called the Krampuslauf (Krampus Run), in Klagenfurt, Austria, in 2006. According to Wikipedia: A Krampuslauf is when celebrants dressed as Krampus, often fueled by alcohol, chase children through the streets.
Vlogmas is a combination of vlog (video log) and Christmas. It's when YouTubers around the world upload a homemade Christmas video every day onto their YouTube channels throughout the month of December, either until and including Dec. 25 or Dec. 31. That means I will be uploading a new video onto my YouTube channel every day throughout December until and including Dec. 31, 2022, and then posting the link onto Facebook.
