Gryla - The Christmas Lady

Here is an interesting old Christmas folklore of Iceland:

During the Christmas season Gryla and her 12 sons terrorize the countryside with cannibalistic orgies and they prefer children, and preferably naughty children.*

So, have you been naughty or nice? Which list to you want to be on?

Suzanne,
I don't think you have anything to fear, unless you start receiving Baskin Robbins gift certificates that is signed "Gryla and the boys".
