Hi all. For today's Yule Lad, we have Candle Stealer. They are known for stealing and eating candles made from fat. Thanks for watching. #Artist #traditionalart #iceland #yulelads #folklore #xmas
#YULELADS Candle Beggar. Last one. Eats candles. I think they'd run out of inspiration, tbh.

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone! Santa and Krampus aren't the only Christmas figures. Don't forget Grýla, the Yule lads, and the Yule Cat of Icelandic folklore.

13 Kertasníkir
#yulelads #kertasníkir #forkhandles
Greetings all, here we have the 12th Yule Lad Meat Hook. Known for being a skilled thief, they carry a hook to aid them in stealing meat. They arrive on the 23rd night of December. Thanks for watching. #Artist #traditionalart #iceland #yulelads #folklore #xmas
Tonight, Kertasníkir arrives (AI image):
The thirteenth was Candle Beggar
- 'twas cold, I believe,
If he was not the last
of the lot on Christmas Eve.
He trailed after the little ones
who, like happy sprites,
ran about the farm with
their fine tallow lights.

#YULELADS Meat Hook. Yes. Meat Hook. Uses a hook to steal meat.
And here's a song that I was reminded of when I typed the above. #gtradio

12 Ketkrókur
#yulelads #ketkrókur
Hi all, today's Yule Lad is Window Peeper. They are a curious Yule Lad, known for looking through windows to either observe what's going on or to see what they can steal. Thanks for watching #Artist #traditionalart #iceland #yulelads #folklore #xmas
Tonight, Kjötkrókur arrives:
Meat Hook, the twelfth one,
his talent would display
as soon as he arrived
on Saint Thorlak's Day.
He snagged himself a morsel
of meat of any sort,
although his hook at times was
a tiny bit short.

Broke into new territory #holiday wise with my first #krampus #illustration earlier this month... may have to expand on other #xmas icons like #yulelads and #yulecat next year. Until then enjoy these #memes I made of those characters from #Iceland.

11 Gáttaþefur
#yulelads #gáttaþefur
Tonight, Gáttaþefur arrives (AI image):
Eleventh was Door Sniffer,
a doltish lad and gross.
He never got a cold, yet had
a huge, sensitive nose.
He caught the scent of lace bread
while leagues away still
and ran toward it weightless
as wind over dale and hill.

#YULELADS Window Peeper today. Um. Problematic. Oh, he only wants to steal stuff. Thank the gods.

10 Gluggagægir
#yulelads #gluggagægir
Tonight, Gluggagægir arrives:
The tenth was Window Peeper,
a weird little twit,
who stepped up to the window
and stole a peek through it.
And whatever was inside
to which his eye was drawn,
he most likely attempted
to take later on.

Here we have Skyr Gobbler. On the 19th night of December, they come to steal Skyr, a yogurt-type dessert. #Artist #Artwork #traditionalart #iceland #icelandic #yulelads #folklore #xmas #watercolour #ink #independentartist #December #Dailyart
Tonight, Bjúgnakrækir arrives (AI image):
The ninth was Sausage Swiper,
a shifty pilferer.
He climbed up to the rafters
and raided food from there.
Sitting on a crossbeam
in soot and in smoke,
he fed himself on sausage
Fit for gentlefolk.

#YULELADS I don't like skyr so Skyr Gobbler is welcome to it.
