Yule Cat 😺

JÓLAKÖTTURINN (THE CHRISTMAS CAT) BJÖRK | HVÍT ER BORG OG BÆR, 1987

| Yule Cat |

You know the christmas cat - that cat is very large We dont know where he came from Nor where he has gone

He opened his eyes widely Glowing both of them It was not for cowards To look into them (x)

I hope you’ll find at least one soft present under your christmas tree, so Jólakötturinn can’t get you!

Tenth day of Christmas : the Jólakötturinn

Gryla, Leppalúði and their sons have a pet too. A gigantic cat sometimes also called Yule Cat and just as malevolent as his owners. He walks around the snowy streets and countrysides during Christmas Eve ; depending of versions, if he crosses your path and you do not wear holidays clothes, either he will eat all your food at home, or he will eat YOU. Added late to the Icelandic holidays ogre family, only in the 19th century, many think he has much more ancient but never written origins

Marked Safe... From The Yule Cat

Yule Cat Christmas Card by AnastasiaKashian

Another feline from Librum Prodigiosum! The Jólakötturinn, from Icelandic mythology! This giant Yule cat roams the cold winter nights- hunting down and eating those who have not received new clothes for the Yuletide period!

The giant cat lurking around yuletide and Christmas. Its enormous form gazes into windows, looking closely at the gifts the children recieve. It prowls alone, waiting for its meal.
