Plenty of European versions of the Santa Claus legend have him traveling with a not-so-jolly companion who gives out bad presents to naughty children, or beats them, or even stuffs them into the sleigh and takes them back to the North Pole for a year of forced labor. Look up "Black Peter" or "Knecht Ruprecht".

...not that I'm recommending telling your children that Santa might abduct them. That could be bad.
