Not only has Iceland a santa, it has officially thirteen of them. Past and present records claim they can be counted by the dozens.
The thirteen Yulelads are all brothers. They live in the mountains of the interior with their mother Grýla, father Leppalúði, keeping one cat Jólaköttur (Yulecat). Whether the other santas (females included) are of that same family is disputed. The family of Grýla and Leppalúði has possibly subdued or even expelled the other santa families.
The yulelads appear in the inhabited lowlands around Christmas, or Jól (Yule), as it is known in Icelandic.
