Happy Krampus Night!
We have made our Krampus lore more kid friendly in our home (we don't need the threats of physical pain and kidnapping boogeymen to discipline our kids), and he is a beloved entity in our family. Instead of Elf on the Shelf, we do a Krampus on the Prowl using this Funko Pop Krampus. Everyday the kids search the house for his next hiding place. Rules are that Krampus has to be able to see them, high or low, which keeps them out of cabinets, draws, and our bedroom.
On Krampus Night, we create an altar for him, with offerings from the kids, and mead or whiskey from the adults. We wear scary masks and dance around with jingle wands, giving energy to power Krampus so he can do his job more efficiently.
In the morning, Krampus is gone, leaving behind a pile of coins and treats if they've been good...or nothing at all if they've been bad. Either way, when its time for Krampus to leave, the kids always miss him.
Funny enough, the kids haven't found Krampus today, so he still hides, keeping an eye on them from the shadows.
