Stúfur
Stubby was the third called, a stunted little man, who watched for every chance to whisk off a pan. And scurrying away with it, he scraped off the bits that stuck to the bottom and brims - his favorites.

Giljagaur
The second was Gully Gawk, gray his head and mien. He snuck into the cow barn from his craggy ravine. Hiding in the stalls, he would steal the milk, while the milkmaid gave the cowherd a meaningful smile.

Stekkjastaur
The first of them was Sheep-Cote Clod. He came stiff as wood, to pray upon the farmer´s sheep as far as he could.
He wished to drink the ewes’ milk, but it was no accident he couldn’t; he had stiff knees - not too convenient.

The Jólasveinarnir (Yule Lads) start arriving in town on the morning of December 12th. Remember to place a shoe on your virtual windowsill before that, as they will leave a small cyber-gift for children who have been good, a small toy or fruit, for example, and those children who have been naughty will receive something they will not like very much. Each day I’ll present the next Yule Lad associated with that day.
