Description: For the uninitiated (and the poorly dressed): Jólakötturinn, the Yule Cat, is an Icelandic Christmas monster who prowls the winter night sniffing out anyone who didn’t receive new clothes for Christmas. If your wardrobe update is lacking? He eats you. Not “symbolically.” Not “metaphorically.” He just… eats you. It’s basically the world’s oldest “wear something nice or else” policy. Fashion by fear.

Description: Even though this is a winter tradition for the people in south Wales, why not have this fun singing horse skull year round?
