    So that cat 100% just exists so that kids won’t complain about getting clothes instead of toys right?

      @chloewells4385 4 года назад +639

      My high school history teacher explained that getting clothes meant you worked hard to help out your family throughout the year and this wore out your old clothes. If you didn't get new clothes you weren't helpful enough, so it encourages children to do their chores. This may be wrong, but it's what my teacher told me.

      A native icelander here and that the cat didn't eat kids if they didn't get clothes parents kinda just made it up later on to then make the kids stop complaining, also there are like 68 other Yule lads that Grýla had with other giants.

    Having been brought up with German childrens' books, I can tell you that while they may not be intentionally terrifying, a child's mind is quite adept at imaging the most gruesome possible outcome to every situation.
    For example:
    Hans Guckindieluft.
    Roughly, Hans Head-In-The-Air.
    The story goes, he lives in a harbor town, and is always - you guessed it - looking up at the sky, and never where he's going.
    Naturally, one day on his way to school, he isn't looking where he's going and trips. Not just anyplace, either - over the edge of the seawall into the harbor. The story ends with a colorfully illustrated picture of him falling in the water while the fish scatter.
    Except... here's where the catch comes in. I had just done a school project on piranhas, which - and this fact sprang to my mind's forefront as I saw that illustration - a small school of piranhas can strip a fully grown cow down to its skeleton in under five minutes.
    I had even made a (rather good) sculpture of a piranha, with box cutter blades for teeth. They were very sharp.
    Safe to say, since I live in a city near to an ocean, that for my entire life I have never once looked up at the sky while walking.
    Problem solved...?

    Man dad being from iceland did the yule lads. Each night leading up to Christmas he would set up the house to make it seem like one of the yule lads visited. If it was Þvörusleikir / spoon licker, my dad would scatter spoons over the house and say Þvörusleikir did it, and if it was Skyrgámur we would leave out Skyr at night and in the morning it would be all eaten, with Hurðaskellir / door slammer my dad would slam doors in the middle of the night before hoping back in bed to pretend to be asleep. And my mom who was from lauterbrunnen switzerland did Krampus but instead of saying he would eat us if we were bad she told us he would tell santa not to visit our house and he would come instead and leave sticks and stones. One year my older brother got sticks and stones in his stocking with a note saying "although you may still have gifts under the tree your stocking has none, let this be a warning to you next time it will not only be your stocking but all of your gifts shall be replaced with sticks and stones" Gruß vom Krampus /

    I'm Icelandic and when I was a kid, I was misbehaving during Jól (Christmas) and my uncle told me that he will rat me out to Grýla. He told me that he knew her and he was going to bring me to her if I didn't behave. I was so afraid and scared that I started crying and begging to not be boiled alive in her cauldron. Btw, this was not traumatizing and I tell this story because I find it funny how scared I was.
