Participants of the so called Buttenmandl ...

Participants of the so called Buttenmandl Parade in their straw and fur costumes wait for the start of the traditional parade in a barn in Bischofswiesen-Loipl, southern Germany, on Sunday, Nov. 29, 2009. Buttenmandl and Krampusse are unmarried men, dressed in straw and skins with animal masks or fur hoods over their heads and wearing large cow-bells tied around their necks with which they make loud noise. During the Advent season they follow Saint Nicholas from house to house to bring luck to the hard-working or to punish the idle. (AP Photo/Christof Stache)
