While some might think the more Santas the merrier they wouldn't be thinking of the 13 Yule Lads of Iceland because they are more like trolls than most renditions of Santa. The 13 start their reign of mischief on December 12 and one by one continue to arrive until they all go back in the same order they came leaving Christmas to end on January 6. To get an idea of their antics one only needs to hear their names: Sheep Cote Clod,Gully Gawk,Stubby,Spoon Licker,Pot Scraper,Bowl Licker,Door Slammer,Skyr Gobbler,Sausage Swiper,Window Peeper,Doorway Sniffer,Meat Hook and Candle Beggar. With a line up like that the chances of being caught out seem much higher.
