Saint Nicholas

"In Croatia Nikolaus (Sveti Nikola) who visits on Saint Nicholas day (Nikolinje)
brings gifts to children commending them for their good behaviour over the past year
and exhorting them to continue in the same manner in the year to come.
If they fail to do so they will receive a visit from Krampus who traditionally leaves a rod,
an instrument their parents will use to discipline them."
