St. Nicholas is commonly associated with giving gifts to good children, but there isn't a specific patron saint of naughty children in Christian tradition. The story of St. Nicholas leaving coal for naughty children may have evolved into the modern idea of receiving coal as a punishment.

In Eastern European folklore, the demonic character that accompanies Saint Nicholas is often known as Krampus. Traditionally depicted as a horned, goat-like creature, Krampus serves as a counterpart to Saint Nicholas, punishing naughty children while the saint rewards the good ones. This duality emphasizes the themes of reward and punishment during the Christmas season. The legend of Krampus is particularly prevalent in countries such as Austria, Germany, and Hungary.
