I'm looking for traditional activities that we can schedule for each day
the only one I have so far is the traditional licking of the billboard signs along the public highways (and that might only be celebrated in Alabama), but i don't know if that's a single day event or performed daily throughout the month

For a long time, it was called "Advent".
It's traditionally a time for self-denial and spiritual reflection, much like Lent. The actual celebration with gifts and plum pudding was to occur on Christmas and not a moment before.
How we go from that to what our "holy month" is now is a rather complicated story.

As soon as Saint Nicholas unleashes him upon the wicked. But he doesn't always do this.When does Krampus come?lain:
That's Krampus' Dutch counterpart, formerly known for putting bad children in a bag and sending them to Spain (I'm still not sure why that would be such a bad thing). Krampus can sometimes be observed exhibiting similar behavior (albeit with a basket in this case).
It may be necessary to clarify that, despite how we've bundled Krampus with Saint Nicholas, nothing involving Krampus is a formally religious event (Catholic or otherwise).
Someone should teach him otherwise. :think:
