what does germany celebrate for christmas

Well, Germany has a unique and fascinating Christmas tradition called Krampus. Krampus is a horned creature who punishes naughty children and takes them away to the underworld. It's a bit different from the traditional Santa Claus figure and the more common image of St. Nicholas. During the Christmas season, people dress up as Krampus and roam the streets, scaring children and spreading holiday cheer. In some regions, people also have bonfires and feasts to mark the end of Krampuslauf, which is a festival of light and dark.
