Created as an incentive to bring in the wool harvest each year the Icelandic Yule Cat travels the Nordic country during the holiday season with an appetite for children who have not received new articles of clothing for Christmas. She’s quite happy with the current economic situation in Iceland. This scary kitty lives in a cave with the equally vicious child eating ogre Gryla and her third husband Leppaluoi as well as their gang of Yule Lads. The Yule Cat’s weapons of choice are razor sharp claws and teeth.

Having received the latest in Nordic children’s wear this holiday season most of the Hauksson offspring were safe from the voracious appetite of the Icelandic Yule Cat. However, little Inga had an uneasy feeling as she unwrapped a wooden marionette wearing nothing but a smile. |
