 In Iceland, we have 13 Santas or Yule lads who come each one night before Christmas and bring nice children something nice and put it in their shoe which must be placed in the window. This year I experimented with this tradition and bingo, as I was quite nice that day, the Yule lad brought me a nice surprise.

They come on consecutive nights. The first one comes on the 12th and the last on on the 24th. Then one by one they leave in the same order they came so the last one leaves on Jan. 6th and that's when Christmas is officially over in Iceland.

Looks like a nice tradition, and you did well! Do the Yule lads come on the same night, or consecutive nights?
