The first to arrive is Stekkjastaur, the sheep worrier, and the rest of his brothers are just as naughty: for example there's the sausage stealer, window peeper, door slammer and lots of other wickedness. After Christmas Day they leave, one by one, until Twelfth Night, when Icelanders celebrate the end of the holiday season with bonfires and a party.
The Yule Cat, throughout the season, will eat anyone who does not have a new item of clothing to wear. And you'll have to wait for an explanation of why.

That is one way of dealing with poverty, perhaps Mr Cameron would like to introduce the Yule cat to Britain. Does it count if the new item is stolen during a riot?
Can't wait to find out more!
I hope I don't meet the Yule cat, I can't remember the last time I wore new clothes!
