The lads are bathed, a major achievement in and of itself, and ready for the grand finale



tomorrow night they leave town, but first their mother comes for a quick naughty-or-nice inspection



Grýla and Leppalúði

of course they do not stop at some token onion, potato or coal in the stocking,nah


Jólakötturinn

will hunt down the little miscreants and eat them.

Yeah, good luck with that.



This never happens!



All yours

Gleðileg Jól!
