The story
In Iceland, Christmas comes with a warning. The Yule Cat, Jólakötturinn, is a monstrous black cat that prowls the snowy countryside on Christmas Eve and peers in at every window. Anyone who has not been given a new piece of clothing before Christmas is in trouble: the cat eats their Christmas dinner, and then it eats them.
The tale comes from the old Icelandic farms, where everyone who helped finish the autumn wool was rewarded with new clothes for Christmas and the idle were left to the cat. The poet Jóhannes úr Kötlum made it famous in his 1932 poem Jólakötturinn, and Icelanders still make sure nobody goes without. This mug shows the giant cat looming over a snowed-in farmhouse, a brand-new sweater safe on the line, for anyone giving clothes this Christmas. It's for their own safety.
