Before you get sad that Iceland never gets a visit from St. Nick, they actually may have it better than the rest of us. Instead of Santa Claus, they have 13 “Yule Lads,” who are like mischievous mini-versions of Santa, with names like Bowl Licker, Sausage Swiper, Pot Scraper, and Spoon Licker. One of them visits Icelandic children every day between Dec. 11 and Jan. 6, leaving gifts in their shoes (assuming they’ve been well behaved).
