Skyrgámur aka Skyr Gobbler, basically Yogurt Gobbler arrives on the 19th and leaves on the 1st of January.

On 19 December we welcome the Yule Lad called Skyr Gobbler. His favourite is an Icelandic dairy product called skyr, which is similar to yogurt. He likes it so much that he used to sneak into the pantry and gobble all the skyr out of the skyr tub.

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.

This dude will get into your skyr-barrel and not just lick or steal a little, oh no. He’ll eat until he can’t eat any more at all, and that’s going to be a whole hell of a lot.

Defense against Skyr-Gobbler:

• Locks, keys and alarms.
• Eat it all yourself.
• Security cameras that you never stop watching.
• Never sleep. Never rest.
