    @GlidusFlowers 4 роки тому +289

    Icelander here, and while you impressed me with your perfect pronunciation of Grýla, the other pronunciations were a bit off ;).
    Also a side note, while the Yule Lads (jólasveinarnir) were the most famous of Grýla’s children, she had at least 20 other children, who are a lot less famous. Even here in Iceland the non-Yule-Lad Children of Grýla are basically unknown to children.
    Also, there are 77 recognized names for the Yule Lads, who are 13 in total, but the names you mentioned are the most famous ones for each of the Lads

      For the kids it definitely is along with Grýla, but there is one Yule Lad that I was absolutely terrified of when I was younger and that was Window Peeper. They forgot to mention one thing about him, which is that he will steal whatever he sees that he likes and that includes children. So when he came around children would not be asleep in their beds but rather be hiding under something out of sight of the windows.

    Once a king gets of Iceland threatened not to give his kid clothes, then ended up forgetting to give him new clothes and the kid was so traumatized that when he grew up and became king himself he made a law saying that you can’t you mythological figures to threaten children. Also, the government of Iceland spent something like 40,000 Kronos on a statue of the Yule cat, and it’s quite controversial

      It's been happening for months if you like animation. Apparently, cartoons are only for little kids, even if most of the animation happens to be stuff like Fritz the Cat, Heavy Metal, Legend of the Overfiend, etc. etc.

    The current version of the Yule Lads as they're known today was really canonized by poet Jóhannes úr Kötlum with his book Jólin Koma (Christmas is coming) in 1932. That's where the 13 yule lads are named and described. Before then their names and numbers tended to vary from place to place and even today there are popular Christmas songs that talk about there only being nine, rather than the more common thirteen

    A couple of years ago, I realized that the thing I was most looking forward to for Christmas was some new socks.
    Like, colorful socks that go up to my ankles. Just that. I just wanted new socks.
    Not that I wouldn't've enjoyed some cooler things, but I wasn't expecting anything much for Christmas, and I honestly did want more socks. I figured that's a mark of some level of maturity... probably?

  • @TheCrazyspikes
    @TheCrazyspikes 4 роки тому +11

    OMG, the yule lads are amazing! I love the stories and how they changed over time.
    Have you considered that the stories of the yule lads might've started with beggars and homeless people roaming the countryside in the past? The thieving, stealing and pranking might suggest that. And maybe the decree in 1746 might've been driven by an enlightenment ideal to stop people from harassing poor and homeless people or use them to scare children.
    But that's just an idea. Not sure if that is provable :P
