Spectacular it is, but I'm missing water since I got back into outboards. Krampala is a devilish character who accompanies Nikolaus. St. Nicolaus gives candy to the kids while Krampala scares them and switches their legs with his big broom. This is a remnant of pagan tradition inside Catholicism. In Lutheran Norway, a goat's-head character ran around doing bad stuff on Christmas Eve as late as the 19th century.

ADD: After taking another look, the fire must be in the background and the float pass by. Still....looks pretty amazing.
