KrampusLauf, the Alamo City's first parade honoring Santa's evil counterpart, is Dec. 5 in Southtown.
San Antonio 's first Krampus Lauf is tonight, but parade organizers already are selling merch online to keep the 'holiday fear' fresh all year-round. Not everyone is in the spirit to celebrate Krampus , though. In European folklore, he's Santa 's evil counterpart who drags children to hell as punishment for being bad. Last week, San Antonio pastor Mark Lugo urged city officials to block the parade.

'I think it's important that San Antonio sees that we're not just in a bubble,' he said. 'In fact, we are ambassadors to the rest of the world.' The Krampus parade will run from 6:30 to about 7:30 p.m.
