Happy holidays from Jólakötturinn, the Icelandic fairytale cat who eats you on Christmas morning if your clothes aren't nice! Nope, he's not a moral lesson about keeping your clothes clean. He's just a reminder of the ever-present potential for senseless violence in an unpredictable universe! Skål!
