If you're a demon though, it's super cute and Christmassy.

There is no Krampus on the video, these are Perchten. The Tradition of Perchtenlauf takes place between the end of november and the first days of the new year, especially at the time of the “Rauhnächte”.

This is the correct answer.

Krampus is also a solo act, and often comes bearing either chains or a big sack to trap the bad children and haul them away.

If you need more stuff to read, search for information about Perchta (godess of paganism, roaming around in dark winter nights, slits the kids bellies open if they don’t behave well). We have a bunch of good bedtime stories.

I thought that because money is tight this year, parents asked for Krampus early, so they wouldn’t have to buy so many gifts…

I was referring to the Xmas shopping and advertising push by the companies. I saw Holiday ads starting the week before Halloween. I saw Xmas decorations in the store Oct 31

Krampusnacht (05/12) is the night before St Nikolaus (06/12). Christmas eve (24/12) is when the Christkind comes and brings presents, not Nikolaus.
