Iceland has 13 Santa Clauses. One of them harasses sheep. Their mum's a cannibal-troll, and if you don't get any clothes for Christmas, the CHRISTMAS CAT eats you

The fucking CHRISTMAS CAT EATS YOU.

Drownedinsound Behold:

The Yule Lads:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yule_Lads

Side Note: Once when I was in Iceland, I looked someone up in the phone book (most people are listed with their preofession).

I noticed "Kertasnikir" and surely enough, his profession was listed as "Jolasvein" or Yule Lad / Santa Claus.

They were all in the fucking national phone book under the same address. I didn't dare try the number, but amazing scenes.

Side Note:

Once, when I was in Iceland, I looked someone up in the phonebook and "Kertasníkir" caught my eye.

Most people are logged with their profession...Kertasnkir's profession was just "Jolasvein"

or "Yule Lad / Father Christmas"

They were all in the phone book under the same address.

I didn't dare try the number.
