This is Gryla, the Troll or Ogress of Icelandic Christmas. She is the mother of the Yule Lads, written about yesterday on this blog. As if her mischievous and often scary dangerous off-spring weren't a bad enough deterrent to bad behavior by children; her appetite for children who have been naughty throughout the year, but especially around Christmas should scare hell out out of you! Her favorite snack is a screaming little naughty lad or lass; but her favorite dish is Naughty Kid Stew!
She is also not too good a marriage! She's been hitched three times, and currently lives with her third husband is the lava caves in Dimmuborgir, with the fairly nasty unto itself Yule Cat! For more on this "festive" hag, click here.
