If you have known me for a while, you know I love the Yule Cat from Iceland. Love him, named Jólakötturinn in Icelandic. But I do have a problem with the explanation given in the article. You see, the web site (and other English sites) explain - incorrectly- that the Yule Cat will eat children that don't wear their new clothes. That is stilly. You can't wear your new clothes on Christmas - and that is when Jólakötturinn is out and about.
No, despite what this article says, you will hear the real story if you go to Iceland. Jólakötturinn eats only those children who do not receive either socks or underwear.
After the article, there is the image of our Yule Cat ornament that will go on our tree soon.
