Austria is full of surprises for us first time visitors. One of these being the discovery of Santa's (St. Nicholas in Austria) little 'helper.' His name is Lucifer and he comes in the form of the Devil. It is known to us all that Santa has a book that has the names of all the good and naughty children. Lucifer is here to scare all those naughty kids into being good.
This has been a tradition for many years, Austrian children tend to dress up on the 6th of December to scare the people around Austria. Running around dressed as Lucifer, making people jump and screaming through the night.
It's a very strange tradition!
