The Icelandic Yule Lads are 13 figures from Icelandic folklore who come to town in the 2 weeks before Christmas.

They range from "mere pranksters to homicidal monsters" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yule_Lads

Gleðileg Jól!
Kertasníkir will be tiptoeing around the house and stealing all the candles. He likes to eat them!
Ketkrókur has plans to steal all the meat in the house. He better not get his hands on the turkey!
Gáttaþefur sniffs out any bread in your house with his enormous nose
Gluggagægir will be peeping in the windows tonight. Don't forget to close your curtains!
Bjúgnakrækir is out to swipe any sausages he can find. Look up, you'll find him in the rafters.
Hide your skyr! And your yoghurt. Skyrgámur is coming...
Askasleikir is about tonight, he likes licking your plates and bowls clean
And now it's Pottasleikir in your kitchen, stealing leftovers
‪Guard your kitchen and look out for Þvörusleikir. He only eats what's left on spoons!‬
