Tonight is "Krampus Night", a tradition which is mostly celebrated in German speaking countries.

While St Nicholas brings small gifts to good children on 6th December, Krampus, a horned and somewhat demonic creature, punishes naughty children with birch rods on the 5th.

As an over 18s convention luckily we don't have to worry about naughty children at FunCon, but we thought this was a fun night to celebrate with a Krampus logo...
