Christmas Cannibals! Gryla, The Yule Lads & The Yule Cat! Spooky Burrito

Christmas is about family. It’s about Cannibals. And, it’s about 13 strange men who wander into your house and lick your spoons! Or it is if you’re in Iceland… Today on this Christmas Spooky Burrito we’re going to investigate the legend of Gryla, her troublesome sons, and The Yule Cat. And perhaps we’ll find a way to defend our homes from them!

If this is your first time listening, welcome to the show, once a month our show Grief Burrito becomes Spooky Burrito where we delve into a spooky, paranormal, or strange occurrence.

Gryla is thousands of years old. She is a giantess, sometimes described as a parasitic beggar with cloven hooves and unusually long arms… She walks the streets at night asking parents for their disobedient children… Not to take them away to work in a mine for the rest of time, but instead to dismember them. And cook them into a stew.
