Santa Who? Iceland’s Spicy Yule Lads Come Early and Stay Long
Beginning every December 12, the Yule Lads (or Jólasveinar) commence sneaking into Icelandic towns one at a time—Stubby (Stúfur) arrived yesterday and Spoon Licker (Þvörusleikir) is on tap for today.
Things get especially tantalizing around December 20 with the arrival of Sausage Snatcher (Bjúgnakrækir), followed by Window Peeper (Gluggagægir), Doorway Sniffer (Gáttaþefur), and Meat Hooker (Ketkrókur).
Each of the thirteen Yule Lads sticks around town for twelve days—dropping the odd gift or potato in children’s shoes—before heading back to the countryside, where they all presumably live together in one big dark and steamy cave.
Gleðileg jól!
You’re really reaching for some queer aspect here.

I fail to see the connection as well. Interesting nonetheless.

The Iceland folks have an interesting phallus museum . . . they’ve got exhibits of representative samples of a phallus of every mammal on their island, including a few human ones.
