Just read about the old Christmas lore and it reminds me of the cruel Hansel & Gretel stuff. Also this sounds like it was left over from the pagan days. Pretty mean and cruel stuff for a happy time for kids. Nasty.
The "happy time" idea is Victorian in origin. Even as late as the 20s, ghost stories were read during Christmas, such as Christmas Carol or MR James' stories.

I've never seen this specific art associated with Tony Podesta. I don't think the Tweet's claim is legit.
Edit: You can purchase this actual Krampus prop from: http://unit70.com/product/black-gray-krampus-caged-child/

Tweet is a hoax.
