The sixth Christmas Give away is from Icewear 😊👍. 

This is a gift from the Icelandic Yulelad Askasleikir or Bowl-Licker and the wonderful wool Icewear 😍, 

An Icelandic Wool Sweater

The sixth Yule Lad to come to town is Askasleikir or Bowl-Licker. This Yule Lad hides under beds to steal the "askur "(a bowl with a lid) people put down for the dogs and cats to lick. 🥣😋

The sixth, Bowl-Licker,
was utterly unprecedented. -
He lay under beds
from where he drove his ugly head.
When the people put the bowls down
for cats and dogs,
he was quick to catch them
and licking in various ways.

Sá sjötti, Askasleikir,
var alveg dæmalaus.
Hann fram undan rúmunum
rak sinn ljóta haus.

Þegar fólkið setti askana
fyrir kött og hund,
hann slunginn var að ná þeim
og sleikja á ýmsa lund.
