In Icelandic lore dating back to the 1300s, Gryla is a Christmas Witch who eats naughty children on Christmas!

Terrifying, I know. But it isn’t the only Christmas Witch out there! Learn more about them! https://t.co/SVdnC57Dvs

Unlike other Christmas figures like Santa & Krampus, the Yule Cat doesn’t care about your misdeeds.

Your only insurance against being torn apart & eaten by this Icelandic feline is receiving an article of new clothing for Christmas.

Shop wisely

Jólakötturin - Iceland’s Yule Cat. A huge, ferocious black cat who searches for anyone who has no new clothes to wear on Christmas Eve. Upon finding such a wretch the feline greedily gobbles them up, swallowing them whole, before resuming the hunt for others.

Jólakötturinn, The Icelandic Yule Cat, was a tale told by farmers to get their workers to finish harvesting wool before Christmas. This Cat is huge and stalks the countryside seeking the idle, or those who did not receive gifts of new clothing on Christmas Eve.
