Happy Saturday, 

My name is Conductor Wolf, and on today's edition we shine a light on some feline Christmas folktale & Christmas Stories as it is Christmas Eve.  So let's get on wit the edition but first a quick note down below:

note: I'm only going to do a summary as there will be a link to read the entire article for the folklore section while only naming the titles for the Christmas stories. So on with the post!


Christmas Folklore: Iceland

Iceland's Terrifying Christmas Yule Cat is like many other folklore where their origins lie in distant, interwoven timelines.  Through  the ancient tales of troll cats and familiars, the Icelandic Yule Cat as we all/might know him/her today  had arrived in 1932 through the medium of print. Jólin koma, meaning ‘Christmas is Coming’, by poet, author and erstwhile politician, Jóhannes úr Kötlum, includes a poem entitled Jólakötturinn, or The Christmas Cat.  Every year since the folklore had started, is told at every christmas  as it speaks of an enormous cat prowling about town eating any poor soul who didn’t receive a new item of clothing for Christmas. If you were wealthy, this wasn’t an issue, but the impoverished and their offspring might not be so lucky.

This is my summary of the article as it is very interesting to learn about Iceland's folklore.
