Askasleikir arrvies this night! The sixth brother of the Yule lads!

In the old days, Icelanders ate their food from a lidded wooden bowl called “askur,” with everyone having their own separate one. This old fellow would creep in, sometimes hide under the bed, and then snatch the askar whenever they were put aside, licking their insides clean. Since most people have upgraded to plates, he probably has too, but still keeps his name, for old times sake.

Askasleikir!🥣

His name means “bowl licker”, he’s the 6th Yule lad that arrives on December 17th and leaves on December 30th.

His main mischief is hiding under people’s bed and snatching any leftover bowl that was placed on the floor (sorry for another late one)

This year I was commissioned to do the 13 Icelandic santa clauses (yule lads). This is the sixth one, Bowl Licker. He used to steal leftovers as well.
