Tonight Bjúgnakrækir (Sausage Swiper), the 9th of Iceland's 13 Yule Lads, comes down from the mountains. He hides in the rafters and steals sausages that are hung up there for smoking.
Children leave their shoes out in the window, he gives the good ones a small gift, the bad ones get a potato.

It's the 9th night of yule, and with it comes Bjúgnakrækir, or Sausage Swiper.
This santa hides in your rafters to swipe sausages that you're smoking. Modern day versions see him hiding in your attic waiting to steal your hot dogs, which are practically the national dish here.

Just to let you know that the Yule Lads are coming.
They may look as though they are going to do you in but are very straight and do good things, so don’t fear them or up-tight them.
Try to assist them without neglecting your Apple business and without letting them take control of Savile Row.

20 December (9th Day of Christmas): Bjúgnakrækir, the patron saint of high blood pressure, reminds you that the word "botulism" comes from the Latin 'botulus", meaning sausage, and that processed meats are a Group 1 carcinogen.

Bjúgnakrækir is next. It means "Sausage Swiper". I have trouble pronouncing this one. But basically, he'd climb in the rafters to get the smoked sausages that used to be popular.

I once told some coworkers about the Yule Lads, and they were fascinated by Bjúgnakrækir. For years afterwards they would ask me what night the "Sausage Elf" was coming.
