On 19 December we welcome the Yule Lad called Skyr Gobbler. His favourite is an Icelandic dairy product called skyr, which is similar to yogurt.

Door Slammer comes to town on 18 December. He always made a lot of noise when he walked around, slamming doors and such, so people could hardly get any rest.
17.12.2011
Askasleikir (Bowl Licker) comes to town on 17 December. In the past, Icelanders ate from lidded wooden bowls that they sometimes kept under the bed or on the floor.

Spoon Licker comes down from the mountains on 15 December. In the past he would sneak into the houses and lick the wooden spoon used to scrape the pots

The third Yule Lad to come to town is Stúfur (Shorty). He is the smallest of the 13 brothers - a rare case of a lilliputian troll. (If there ever was a case to be made for troll therapy)

13.12.2011
The second was Gully Gawk, gray his head and mien. He snuck into the cow barn from his graggy ravine.

The 13 Yule Lads were originally portrayed as being mischievous, or even criminal, pranksters that would steal from, or in other way harass the population (at the time mostly rural farmers). They all had descriptive names that conveyed their modus operandi.
