He's watching us!" Second, a close-up of a woman wearing oversized glasses and holding up a festive New Yearโs hat, smiling warmly at the camera with the caption, "This is for you." Third, the same woman leans closer to the camera, delivering the caption, "Happy new year," with a cheerful expression.

29.12.2025 21:47 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Jรณlakรถtturinn is huge, as big as if not bigger than a house, and only comes around for Christmas. Some say Jรณlakรถtturr (as sometimes shortened) is the pet of the a family of trolls known as the Yule Lads who are Santaโs helpers in Iceland. Itโs also said that he has a particular taste for ungrateful children. The legend of the Jรณlakรถtturinn was not written down for publishing until the early 19th century. At first a more obscure countryside myth, the lore of Yule Cat has only grown since and is now internationally known and celebrated. It is theorized the practical purpose of this myth may have been to aid in wool production in earlier seasons of the year which children took part in helping with. โ๏ธโ๏ธ โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ
In Icelandic folklore Jรณlakรถtturinn, the Yule Cat, comes to eat those who do not wear their new clothes for Christmas. In this image, you can see somebody did not put on their new Christmas sweater. Or perhaps even more unfortunately, no one got them one!
