You just can't make this stuff up...
An old Yule custom in Iceland includes the importance of getting new clothing Women spent many nights sewing so that each member of the household would get at least one new garment. As folklore had it, any person left out was in danger of being eaten by a malicious beast called the Christmas Cat.

I carefully inspected them but they are as I thought...
just ugly garden knomes. But I've gotta have a set of these - they are too funny!!!

Ambersmom, I am hysterical right now that you actually inspected them!! I love it! I am bitterly disappointed that they aren't the Yule Lads... oh well.
Now get to shopping... nothing says 'Holidays' like a Gully Gawk, Doorway Sniffer and the carnivorous Christmas Cat!
