The icelandic cat who eats those who are not wearing their new clothes. The Jólakötturinn, or the Yule Cat is a monstrously large creature from Icelandic folklore that is said to roam the snowy countryside during Christmas, with a particular appetite for anyone who has not received new clothes before Christmas Eve or who did not wear them. She is also the pet of the troll witch Grýla. She is used to threaten naughty children, because she loves to eat them. Grýla's sons are the Jólasveinar, the thirteen Icelandic Santa Clauses, dwarves who originally did not bring gifts, but stole things or played pranks. They are on the move between December 12 and January 6.

What does this March bring? A new album from @FourTet, that's what! Thank you Kieran Hebden, for all your music, all these years.

@AldrinSampear @SAfmRadio Ah Elroy. Alan. Alrin. Aldrin Sampear. Just like that?🫢

I love radio. I really do. It’s my first love. But I have decided to say goodbye. Friday is my last show on @SAfmRadio and also my last radio show. It was a tough decision but necessary. From a community radio station, KASIE FM to hosting a National Drive Time show #SAfmBTH. A whole me. God has been good to me. I see His hand and I hear my mom’s voice, “Jy het nie ‘n hond nie. Jy hey nie ‘n kat nie”. Ma, we’re good now 🥹 In our BTH debriefing sessions, you’ll always hear “the listener this” “the listener that” “but what about the listener?” OH 😊 It’s been an absolute pleasure being at your service. Thank you for inviting us into your space. Thank you for trusting us with your stories and challenging us. Also our guests who are so selfless with their time and knowledge. Siyabonga. Thank You 🙏🏾
