Þvörusleikir (Spoon-licker)



I´m cutting it close today, so this will be a quick one. It´s already 23:30 (11:30 pm) here in Iceland and I´m just now doing the Santa blog. I overslept by 2 hours today! Before you judge me, first I forgot to set the alarm (that´ll do it!) and second the moon is still shining bright even at 11:00 am and is back in just a few hours. The daylight to nighttime ratio can really mess with your sleeping habits. In the summer when it´s sunny all day I am fine with 6 hours sleep but get me to the winter time and I´m desperate for at least 9 hours. I don´t always get those 9 (THAT'S FOR SURE!) but I want them. Ok, now let me get on topic!

The 4th santa to come to town is Þvörusleikir (Spoon-licker). This little troll/santa makes a trip all the way down from the mountains to search for dirty wooden spoons with leftover bits from meals. That´s right! This santa comes to your house to lick your spoons folks...I am not making this up. Either Grýla is not feeding her sons very well or they just have some weird fetish. Be aware....the santas´get more weird and a lot of licking and breaking laws happens in these stories. So stay tuned ladies and gentlemen ;)

On another side note. Today my dog, Stjarna, is 3 years old :D She´s so cute and good. I love her! Sjaumst á morgun...if you are following you should know what that means :)
