Jólakötturin. / Icelandic Christmas Cat.

"Glúmur"

Jólakötturin. Þegar ég var barn, var okkur sagt að fólk sem fengi ekki ný föt fyrir jólin myndi lend í jólakettinum. Kötturinn var heimilis köttur Gýlau sem var móðir gömlum Íslensku Jólasveinana.
Ég gerði þetta jólamerki fyrir Torvadsenfélagið 2001, en í 100 ára sögu merkisins enginn  notað köttin sem mynd efni, hann virðis ekki vera vinsæll.
Hin kötturin er "Glúmur" heimiliskötturi hér á Brunnstíg 5. sem endaði hér veru daga sína hér núna í sumar, en kötturin hefur jú 9. líf
Við munum sakna hans mikið.

The terrify Icelandic Christmas Cat. When I was a child, we were told that people who have not got any new clothes for christmas would be eaten by that cat. That cat was the home cat of terrible Gýla who was mother of old Icelandic Jólasveinar frightening children to behave in advent of christmas.

I made this decoration cristmas stamps, for charity organisation, but in their 100 yers history of it nobody has use that cat it seems not poppular at all.

The other Cat above is  "Glúmur" our dear who cat, his finished stay with us this summer, but according to Icelandic folklore has nine cat lives assigned.

We miss him a lot.
