Iceland’s Yule Cat Fashion Threat

Your favorite Christmas tradition might get you eaten by a giant cat. In Iceland,

there's a monster called the Yule Cat that prowls on Christmas Eve looking for one

specific type of victim. Anyone who didn't receive new clothes for Christmas becomes

its dinner. Medieval farmers invented this terrifying legend to scare workers into finishing

the wool harvest faster before the holidays. If you were lazy and didn't get new

garments, you literally became cat food. It's the most aggressive fashion police in

history, and honestly makes getting socks as a gift seem like a life saving blessing.
