Icelandic Yule Lad - Skyr Glutton

Skyrgámur or Skyr Glutton (19th Dec.) is the eighth Yule lad to make his way down from the mountains.

Upon coming to a dwelling, he heads straight to the dairy pantry. In the old days Skyr (a calcium-rich dairy product) was stored in large wooden barrels. Skyrgámur would tuck right in and not stop until he reached the bottom - a glutton to be sure, but one with strong bones and teeth!

Skyr Gobbler, the eighth,
was an awful stupid bloke.
He lambasted the skyr tub
till the lid on it broke.

Then he stood there gobbling
- his greed was well known -
until, about to burst,
he would bleat, howl and groan.
