Then one by one they trotted off into the frost and snow.
On Twelfth Night the last of the lads used to go.

Their footprints in the highlands are effaced now for long, the memories have all turned to image and song.

Kertasníkir

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.

Ketkrókur

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.

Gáttaþefur

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.

Gluggagægir

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.

Bjúgnakrækir

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.

Skyrgámur

Skyr Gobbler, the eighth, was an awful stupid bloke. He lambasted the skyr tub till the lid on it broke.

Then he stood there gobbling – his greed was well known – until, about to burst, he would bleat, howl and groan.

Hurðaskellir

The seventh was Door Slammer, a sorry, vulgar chap:

When people in the twilight would take a little nap, he was happy as a lark with the havoc he could wreak, slamming doors and hearing the hinges on them squeak.

Askasleikir

Bowl Licker, the sixth one, was shockingly ill bred. From underneath the bedsteads he stuck his ugly head.

And when the bowls were left to be licked by dog or cat, he snatched them for himself – he was sure good at that!

Pottasleikir

Pot Scraper, the fifth one, was a funny sort of chap. When kids were given scrapings, he´d come to the door and tap.

And they would rush to see if there really was a guest. Then he hurried to the pot and had a scrapingfest.
