Plus if you are naughty their troll mother will come and eat you....she also ate two of her husbands...and she owns the christmas kitten merry christmas
@canadiangirl (And btw we are ducked up because of lack of sunlight and we have all these ducked up stories because in the olden times people had nothing better to do than to scar the life out of eachother with weird folklores)
@Demonpet we have some weird folklores too, I used to believe in Huldra, Draugar and Nýkkjen when I was little XD I was so scared of the forest and tjørnan because I thought Nýkkjen would become a horse and drown me :3
@Demonpet ah yus, the mystical Chelsea i do believe. when u touch it u get get connected to the skin, then it pulls u in teh water, then u drown, then it eats u. besides the liver that floats. A truly mystical creature indeed. :P
According to Wikipedia, the cat was used as a threat towards Icelandic farmers to pressure them to farm more because if they met the quota for their crop they would be rewarded with new clothes, thus warding away the Yule Cat. Or something like that.
I'd always complain about getting clothes instead of toys or candy when I was younger... Until my mom told me about the yule cat. I stopped complaining after that
