Santa says WHAT?

The Icelandic Yule Lads are in an uproar today as shocking news comes in from the North Pole. It is said that the communication comes directly from the big guy, Santa, himself. Sources report that Window Peeper, the social media representative of the Yule Lads, was literally knocked over with a puffin feather after reading Santa’s message.

 

In a ground-breaking decision, Santa has notified that the Yule Lads, all 13, have been banned from the annual Nice List. It is not clear whether the decision is for this year only or is a permanent status for the Lads.

While details are still sketchy, reports from sources at the North Pole indicate that Santa has lost patience with the Yule Lad’s antics and mischief-making. Between Pot Licker, Spoon Licker, and Stufur, Mrs. Claus wasn’t able to serve a decent meal until March last year. This year’s ruckus seems to have started at the Southern Reindeer training camp and before the Reindeer Council could meet, the Yule Lads showed up at the North Pole.

Sources say all thirteen Yule Lads were involved in one of four separate incidents around the village. There was the disappearance of a large number of sausages and meats from the smokehouse, most of the yogurt was eaten, the milk was completely drained dry, and the entire stock of candles has gone missing. The final straw, it seems, was the destruction the kitchen storage room and many of the cookies and cakes that had been prepared for the upcoming holiday season.

Mrs. Claus is doubtful that the holiday cookie stores can be replenished in time. Rumor has it the reindeer threatening to boycott deliveries this year so Santa felt he had no choice but to take this extreme action.

No word yet from the Yule Lads on what they think of this -
