Every night from December 12 until Christmas Eve, one Yule Lad will come to town and leave little gifts for well-behaved children who have placed a shoe on the window sill.  Naughty ones will, however, wake up to find a potato in theirs.The thirteen brothers all have very descriptive names reflecting either their nature or the prank they play.

December 15: Þvörusleikir, Spoon Licker, was known to steal wooden spoons (þvara in Icelandic) to lick the scraps off them.
