- Christmas is taken very seriously
- Everyone receives new clothes, the entire house is spotless, families get together to have enormous parties, and cookies are baked
- Anyone who doesn't get new clothes is in danger of getting eaten by the Christmas cat.
The Yule lads:
- The 13 yule lads are Icelandic versions of Santa Clause
- for the 13 days leading up to Christmas, children put their best shoe on the windowsill
- Every, Night one of the 13 yule lads leaves a present for the children
- Their names are: Sheepfold Stick, Gilly Oaf, Shorty, Spoon Licker, Pot Licker, door Licker, Bowl Licker, Sausage Pilfer, Peeper, Sniffer, Meathook, and Candle-beggar.
