Meet the Yule Lads: Hurðaskellir

Meet Hurðaskellir, in Icelandic his name is pronounced like "Hurtha Sketler".    In English, he's known as Door Slammer.   He loves to slam door and scare the stuffing out of people (pets too)! It might be in the middle of the night that you hear a strange thump, or even a squeak of hinges on the door.... then he'll slam the door.  He really likes it when you can't take a nap in the middle of the day because he's making noise.

As one of the thirteen Yule Lads, he's the seventh to arrive for the holidays, showing up on December 18th.   But until then, he's up to a whole lot more than just slamming doors!   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.
