Gryla and her Yule cat (Iceland): In the 1600s, little Icelandic boys and girls first heard about a woman named Grýla, who lived in the mountains with her aging husband, 13 sons (The Yule Lads), and her giant Yule Cat. Grýla was hideous. She was half ogre, half troll, and she had hooves, horns, and 15 tails.
Originally, she would send her Lads down to steal naughty children for her to use in her stew to feed her family.
Each winter, Gryla would send her Yule Lads down the mountain one at a time, each wearing a red-and-white suit to place gifts in shoes that children leave on their windowsills. If the child of the house is good, they receive a small toy; if they’re bad, they get a rotten potato.
