Looks nervously at the sleeping 20 pound Norwegian Forest Cat on my bed next to me. Will never wonder what he's dreaming about this close to Yule again.
Yes, Dr Z! If only I could have had the gumption to consider the topic for study/my degrees! (Although I like what I ended up with). Love your work on Monstrum!
Forgive me as I am being completely serious…what about those who do not wear socks? I am autistic & socks bother me, I haven’t worn them in nearly 20 years. What do the families do in those situations?
Stop spamming inappropriate websites on UA-cam. These commenters are getting hella annoying, you’re spreading p**n on a website with loads of children and teenagers!!
It's still a thing in Iceland, "going to the yule cat" if you don't get something new for Christmas, though mostly as a joke or an excuse to buy new clothing 😆
Well... At least you can buy it and you don't have to farm, shear, wash, card, spin into thread, spin thread into yarn, roll into a skein and knit into a garment by yourself anymore... you can just buy or receive it ...
A very good message at the end... we all who have much should pay attention to those who do not have enough... and to express kindness and support to our communities to our abilities.
I listened to a story on a creepy pasta site called "The Yule Cat" and thought this person just made it up. Boy am I surprised that it is from mythology. Thank you for all that cool info. I'm always looking to learn things such as that. Have a great Holiday and stay safe!
OMG thanks for covering this. I was not aware that we had a cat who eats people in our folk stories. I remember that Christmas Cat as we called him is described as an outsider type character who accompanies the Icelandic Jule Lads but sometimes Father Christmas himself. Kind regards from Ásgeir in Iceland!!
They don’t finish on the 25th, Icelandic christmas day is on the 24th so we recieve our last gift on christmas day. We open our packages in the evening and do all the normal christmas things on the 24th, unlike others that open their gifts on the morning of the 25th
How this awesome mythic being or its ghoul cat counterparts was not in AC: Valhalla? Black Shuck is more of an English legendary beast mentioned around the same time. The enormous Yule Cat and the frightening ghoul cats sits better with the Nordic Vikings and sounds like something they would've fought.
Little bit boring story time *Warning: bad grammars: So in 3-4rd Grade I was In school, when I heard this story I got so scared I asked one of my friends about Grýla and Jólakötturinn they said like: “Oh don’t worry, Gryla Stopped eating children” and I asked them about the cat and their respond were: “ok so the Yule Lads told the Cat to stop hunting children, but the Yule Cat still kept doing it so Gryla took the cat away, back home.”
He just needed some love. 🥰 Seriously, though, who would be so cruel to children to make up such an awful story? And continue telling it through the ages? And I thought people in Iceland are nice. 😂 ✌🏻💙🐾 Is there a sign up for Yule Lads? Is it like the Boy Scouts? 😂
Money is an issue that everyone has for a better and luxurious life. Life was hard for me until I started making profits on my investment with the help of Mich Smith
It's not about watching videos and wasting your time on strategies, i was ignorant doing so. so I decided to try Mich Smith and ever since then he has made me huge profits
*I’d still pet*

Same
Germany: We leave shoes out
Colombia: We light candles and paper lanterns
Japan: We eat KFC
Iceland and Austria: *Demons, take it or leave it*
That is so Hilarious
@Faith Roscoe do we still?
Japan part ..that applies to most in South Asian countries. KFC n McDonald's be like time to do the biz. Holidays look
Lol plus WHY BOTS WHY?
THE CHILDREN!
Imagine the size of the litterbox that Yule Cat needs.
I'm your Huckleberry.
Toledo
3 small children are spared every year in exchange for their labor to scoop that litterbox.
@@MrBassmann15 That's just my game.
@@thefoxsaysmeow That sounds like a fair trade to me.
I would sacrifice myself to the giant kitties. I cant help it.

Favorite comment right here. 😆
you shud ge grateful he let's u live in his/her house
Grýla’s husband is called Leppalúði witch directly translates to “Eye-patched loser”
I fiest heard this from SamOnella
Sounds like a looker... But you gotta catch his good side
Thanks for the mention! May you all receive socks this holiday season-*Dr.Z*
Love your work, Doc!

Visit us. Iceland is very friendly place, even during Christmas....when the Yula Cat is all over the streets of Reykjavik :D
Never really watch these videos as soon as they come out but that title definitely caught me off guard 😂😂
same, i just had to watch it right now 😂
HAHA tru i never clicked so fast

I visited Iceland a few years ago and learned about some of their folklore. It's fascinating!
The snack that screams back children

New band name: “The Child-Eating Christmas Cat of Iceland”
new addition to the Icelandic black metal scene
The poor people really can't win can they ?
a
apparently not...
just me and the yule lads cracking open a cold one on christmas and having a jolly ol’ time
Sounds like fun
I heard spoon licker and window peeper mated and had a baby cat. They named it window licker.
‘Christmas cat eats children’
*needs a good bum pat and chin scratch if you ask me*
Sounds like a good way to get new clothes from your parents, hey do u want the yule cat to eat me
@AYLÉN wtf
my toxic trait is that i think i can tame it.
I know this video is supposed to be spooky, but if you're a drawfee fan, this video is very funny.
Can you reference the episode? I used to watch them and enjoy them a lot
@@jacobcarrico1999 ua-cam.com/video/L0YXvwBX8Bk/v-deo.html also search up Drawfee yule lads and you can find more videos on them too.
@@LongWuzHere Thank you so much!
5:33 i like her intense pronunciation of gryla haha
‘Winter holidays’ lol. Half the world is in summer during the holidays.
Sure but that half of the world doesn't have snow ....they have real life things that will kill you
I wanna hug the big fluffy kitty.
"Mommy, I saw a guy looking in my window last night."
That one weird neighbor: "Yes, that was the Yule Lad... Windowpeeper!"
How can I say no with a title like that?
Ikr
Can I have the giant cat for Xmas? Promise to leave out gallon barrels of temptations treats.
**reads title**
The whom of what??
Personally, I would love for a giant fluffy cat to visit me during christmas. I bet its hugs would be magical.
They switch up the hosts on this channel a lot, getting use to it
OK but who decided to call it the Yula Cat and not Santa Claws?
Because it is a direct translation of the icelandic name Jólakötturinn. Jóla = yule kötturinn = cat
Because it's corny
OMG thanks for covering this. I was not aware that we had a cat who eats people in our folk stories. I remember that Christmas Cat as we called him is described as an outsider type character who accompanies the Icelandic Jule Lads but sometimes Father Christmas himself. Kind regards from Ásgeir in Iceland!!
The poverty cat, it eats you when you’re poor on Christmas
This is just as creepy as Father Johan from Big Mouth😂
I somehow instantly thought of Father Johan 😅
Seriously, you guys beat me to it. Will you tell the tale of Vader Johan!? LMAO 🤣
Let's not mention the Santa "bit". 😒😱
'winter holidays around the world' just a reminder that only the northern hemisphere has a wintry Xmas....
Grýla sounds pretty awesome. Respect.
They don’t finish on the 25th, Icelandic christmas day is on the 24th so we recieve our last gift on christmas day. We open our packages in the evening and do all the normal christmas things on the 24th, unlike others that open their gifts on the morning of the 25th
The Yule-Cat was the OG "Pet animal named "Cupcake"" meme!
Do a series on creepy things like this
Or you could just watch Monstrum on PBS' YT channel...
Who remembers Cox and Crendor talking about this?
I remember 1 of them 😒 and he didnt pay child support!!

At no point in time did I know what would come next reading this title.
Iceland: "Watch out for the terrifying Yule cat please"
All of us: "There's worse ways to go..."
Oh, You mean that old chestnut the Christmas childeating cat. Yeah that one
Enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
Awwwww look at the kitty ( scream in fear )
My kind of cat
"Also known as 'Jolaq'turin." It's always hilarious to hear foreigners try to pronounce Icelandic words.
Yeah, that’s my fiancées cat.
great
The only protection from this Yule cat 🐈 would be the Yule Dog 🐕
Clifford the big red dog maybe?
Or the black dog/barghest
I'd want to pet the kitty
Really enjoyed the video and the narrator's voice is nice
If I met Jólakötturinn I would simply let him eat me
I got period cramps on Xmas Eve and called them krampus kramps... Then no joke my cat attacked me 🤣
01:43 that meow made me laugh😭
Nice! Doctor Z got a shoutout
300 heads but exactly one beard lol
The fact Buzzfeed makes a reference from PBS Monstrum about the yule cat makes me happy
Makes me surprised!
Yes, we also call Christmas a Winter holiday.
Never watch Buzzfeed unsolved anymore but boy did that title get me
And everyone loves Clifford. Sounds like another case of dog-owners hating cats.
Mainly just here to hear Americans try to pronounce Icelandic names lol Grýla was pretty good, Jólakötturinn could use some work 😂
If someone put a potato in my shoes for Christmas i would be glad to have more food
Well gonna have to see if window peeper shows up lol
That's just how cats are.
I would love to hear Ryan and Shane, explain this Christmas story. I really miss those 2. :'(
Shane and Ryan carried this Channel lol
Good kitty!
She got bored n ATE HIM 😂😂😂😂. Oh dear some humans followed that
Little bit boring story time *Warning: bad grammars:
So in 3-4rd Grade I was In school, when I heard this story I got so scared I asked one of my friends about Grýla and Jólakötturinn they said like: “Oh don’t worry, Gryla Stopped eating children” and I asked them about the cat and their respond were:
“ok so the Yule Lads told the Cat to stop hunting children, but the Yule Cat still kept doing it so Gryla took the cat away, back home.”
The Yule Cat
Honestly Yule cat is way more sinister than Christmas cat
I like Growler. My new Spirit Wife example. :)
I love this narrator!!!
Thank you!
so American Christmas tradition originated here
Iceland has never had any Jule/Jóla/Christmas goat
Big mouth wasn’t lying
He just needed some love. 🥰 Seriously, though, who would be so cruel to children to make up such an awful story? And continue telling it through the ages? And I thought people in Iceland are nice. 😂 ✌🏻💙🐾 Is there a sign up for Yule Lads? Is it like the Boy Scouts? 😂
Taylor Swift?
Good kitty
My cats have got to be related. Little evil bastards.
Shhhh they might hear u!
Jola the Yule cat, it was on the Christmas chronicles 2
my family have Swedish cat collars and a Russian dog collar because I was worried The Yule Cat would eat my pets if they didn’t have clothes
Hahaha excellent ☺️
I bet this is Gyula the Christmas witch
Great, now my Christmas is ruined...
i heard of gryla from hilda and the yule lads 🤣
SHE ATE HIM WHEN SHE GOT BORED WITH HER HUSBAND. I like it.
This holiday season is especially tough for me: Covid. Nuff said
