Yule Revel: A Very Merry And Dark Icelandic Jól!

WASSAIL! Come one and all to Storvik’s Yule Revel! Enjoy a day of holiday merriment with friends.

The solstice is almost upon us and with that the longest night of the year. In Iceland it is the time when the Yule Lads, their fearsome mother troll mother, Gryla, and her terrifying pet, Jolakotturinn, the Yule Cat, come down from the mountains to wreck havoc amongst the villages and frighten children into good behavior.

It is only by locking our doors, securing our kitchens and barns, dressing in at least one piece of new garb and gathering in the Great Hall for mutual protection that we may thwart their harassment.

So come gather with us as we defy these monsters and celebrate with festivities, amusements, competitions, dancing, music, story-telling and a smorgasbord of finger foods and tasty delights. Please bring a dessert to share before the Yule lads get to them.

A&S

There will be various competitions, displays, music, dancing, storytelling and other amusements. Stay tuned for details.
