Meanwhile the yule lad responsible for bringing the present has a harrowing adventure. The Icelandic Santa's are thirteen living in the mountains with their troll mother named Grýla and the vicious Yule-Cat that supposedly eats children that don't get any new piece of clothing for Christmas. They come one by one to town, the first one 13 days before and then the last one the day before Christmas day. Today they bring small gifts to children who leave their shoe in their window for the night. This is if they have behaved in the course of the day. If they have not, they risk to get a potato in their shoe. The original Yule-lands were unkind and pranksters and bearing names like Bown Licker, Door Slammer, Skyr Glutton and Sausage Swiper indicate their nature of stealing food. The Yule-Shoe tells the story of Stekkjastaur (e. Sheep Shagger) who arrives the first of them, 13 days before Christmas. Written by Gunhil See less
