Tonight Hurðaskellir (Door Slammer), the 7th of Iceland's 13 Yule Lads, comes down from the mountains. As the name suggests, he likes to slam doors.
Children leave their shoes out in the window for him, he gives the good ones a small gift, the bad ones get a potato.

Er macht gern Lärm, um Leute zu ärgern. Am liebsten knallt er Türen zu.

Fyrir 2 árum hrökk skottan mín á fætur við að heyra massívan hurðaskell... sömu nótt og Hurðaskellir var á ferð.
Verkamennirnir í næsta stigagangi glæddu undir trúna á jólasveinana þann morgun rétt uppundir 7.

18 Dec: You think it's weird so far? Oh boy. Strap in
Hurðaskellir (Door-Slammer)
Door-Slammer was known to be the loudest one, slamming doors, especially during nighttime, waking people up in the process.
Probably on the way home from the staff Christmas party

18 December (7th day of Christmas): Hurðaskellir - because doors are technically a percussion instrument.
(On a side note, my intense startle reflex is a running joke among my coworkers, who come up innocently to ask about something only to have me scream and jump out of my seat ;) )

Das Geschirr glänzt wunderfein
Man denkt, es kommt kein Troll mehr rein
Doch schon mitten in der Nacht
Wird man wach, weil es laut kracht
Ist Geschirr etwa zerschellt?
Denkt man, während hoch man schnellt
Ist da wer, der was zerschlägt?
Ist, was man bei sich erwägt
