In Bavaria, they would put the bad kids in a sack and shake it- My Mom told me growing up she was more scared of Santa (I forget what she called him) than anything.

Also, creepy Christmas- on ABCFamily they had the new version of Charlie and the Chocolate factory on (the one with Johnny Depp). Not sure why this is considered a Christmas movie, but it is actually pretty creepy.
