  • Children who don't get new clothes for Christmas may be eaten by the giant Black Christmas Cat.
  • The Yule Lads enjoy playing pranks on children and adults alike.
  • The brothers have unusual names like Candle-Beggar, Window-Peeper and Meat-Hook.
  • Fermented skate, potentially the world's stinkiest fish, is traditionally eaten on December 23rd.
  • On New Year's Eve elves become visible, the dead walk from their graves, seals take on human form and cows develop speech.
