Meet the Yule Lads: Pottasleikir

Meet Pottasleikir, in Icelandic his name is pronounced like "Pot' a Slaker".  In English, he's known as Pot Licker.   He hides in the shadows of the kitchen, behind the pantry door or under the cabinet - when the room is empty of humans, he will sneak out.  He just loves to eat all the crusty dried-on bits from the pots and pans waiting to be washed.

As one of the Yule Lads, he's the fifth to arrive for the holidays, showing up on December 16th.   But until then, you wouldn't believe the kitchens he finds his way into!   Follow the story starting October 17th on Facebook.com/yuleladslegend and Twitter @YuleLadsLegend. A 20-part story written by Heidi Herman and illustrated by Colleen Stiles.
