Icelandic Jólasveinar 9
Lava!
Min has put her red boots out once again, leaving a special treat for the Yule Lad…In the morning she is delighted to find two lumps of lava – one red and one black – from the Eldfell volcano in Iceland! The cat thinks there must have been something pretty nice in the empty dish, and decides to follow the greasy trail…

A trail of sausages.
The ninth Yule Lad to come is Bjúgnakrækir, the sausage-stealer who comes on December 20th! The cat has a second breakfast after catching up with him.
The Jólasveinar tradition is explained in the Icelandic Yule/Jól website here.

If only Min had been as curious as the cat, she might have seen the Yule Lad!
And if only the cat could talk!
I LOVE sausage!! Another wonderful installment in your running series here, truly a joy to take in and read!
