JÓLAKÖTTURINN (THE CHRISTMAS CAT) BJÖRK | HVÍT ER BORG OG BÆR, 1987

[idioticbat]

Jólakötturinn, aka The Yule Cat. This one here is probably inoffensive and just wants some head pats, despite the looks. They're probably just tired of walking in the snow for so long. if you like my art, please consider supporting on patreron, it helps a lot!

You know the christmas cat - that cat is very large We dont know where he came from Nor where he has gone

He opened his eyes widely Glowing both of them It was not for cowards To look into them (x)

I hope you’ll find at least one soft present under your christmas tree, so Jólakötturinn can’t get you!

Tenth day of Christmas : the Jólakötturinn

Gryla, Leppalúði and their sons have a pet too. A gigantic cat sometimes also called Yule Cat and just as malevolent as his owners. He walks around the snowy streets and countrysides during Christmas Eve ; depending of versions, if he crosses your path and you do not wear holidays clothes, either he will eat all your food at home, or he will eat YOU. Added late to the Icelandic holidays ogre family, only in the 19th century, many think he has much more ancient but never written origins

Another feline from Librum Prodigiosum! The Jólakötturinn, from Icelandic mythology! This giant Yule cat roams the cold winter nights- hunting down and eating those who have not received new clothes for the Yuletide period!

We realize it's a bit too much to get familiar with all local customs, but this one is something everyone should take up really.

It's second yule. After our 13 days of yule we hold a second yule. The first is the same as any capitalist christmas except for the trolls and the child stealing giant cat.

Second yule is about taking down anything holiday related except the lights. The lights stay up as long as your neighbor's, and yes this becomes a game of virtue chicken. The most virtuous is the person who lasts almost the longest. It's a bit complicated and there was a nobel prize winner in economics that formulized the phenomenon.

It's your civic duty to light up the winter darkness

The first person to take them down hates yule, hates society, is not redeemable.

The last person to take them down is the laziest, tackiest and careless person alive

So instead of explaining that our society ir comprised of spiteful individuals we just say "they look so good, don't you think?" while we try to hide the tears in our eyes.

Would recommend.
