#YULELAD Today sees Stubby coming round, nicking yer dirty pans and licking the food off them. The skanky bastard.
We have this little guy up on our tree. Þvörusleikir (Spoon-Licker) is the Yule Lad who arrives on 15th Dec. Spoon-Licker was known for being tall, thin, and for stealing long wooden spoons to lick them, hoping to taste something sweet.

Today’s #yulelad is Kertasníkir or Candle Begger. Candles are an important part of an Icelandic Christmas and if you are careless with yours Candle Begger will swipe them and eat them!
OK I blew it in copying my prior posts! 🤦♂️ I think this happens to me every year, d'oh! I'm a day and a Lad behind, and got my numbering wrong. So it's double lads today!
Also, #Bjúgnakrækir, aka Sausage-Swiper is the NINTH #YuleLad!
Today’s Icelandic #YuleLad is Ketkrókur or Meat Hook. He waits in the shadows or hangs from the rafters and steals the meat for the Christmas dinner with a long hook.
Gáttaþefur or Door Sniffer, is today’s Icelandic #YuleLad. He has a big nose and likes to sniff at doorways for the delicious aroma of Christmas baking. If he finds a piece to steal he’ll leave a toy or candy in your shoe.
We have him up on the tree! Skyrgámur, the Skyr Gobbler, is here! The 8th Yule Lad arrives on Dec 19, sneaking into larders to devour barrels of skyr, Iceland's beloved thick dairy treat. Watch out for your supplies!

Today’s Icelandic #yulelad is Gluggagægir or Window Peeper. He’s a creepy guy who looks in your windows looking for things to swipe. But like his brothers, he will give presents too! If you’re good he’ll put a toy or a candy in your shoe
Húsahrellir - one of the lesser known Icelandic Yule Lads - folklore says he’s a big as a house and loves to cause a ruckus.
Animation/Sound/Music by me! Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄❤️
