Askasleikir - Yule lad

December 17

Askasleikir (Bowl-Licker) is the sixth Yule Lad who comes to town on the night before the 17^th of December and departs for home on the 30^th of December. Bowl-Licker was known to hide under beds waiting for someone to put down their “askur,” (a plate used for all meals), which he then licked clean.

The next to arrive is Hurðaskellir (Door-Slammer).
