Hello

Welcome back

This is survived with Sophie and Lexi

We started telling our survived story (in college) and we are moving on to being you guys more

Through many different topics

This week we will be pivoting from our case coverage since this episode is coming out on a holiday week. We will be talking about the legend of the Yule Cat.

The Yule Cat (Jólakötturinn) is a terrifying, giant feline from Icelandic folklore that prowls the countryside at Christmas, eating people who haven't received new clothes before Christmas Eve, serving as a spooky incentive for hard work and finishing knitting. Linked to the mischievous Yule Lads and their ogress mother, Grýla, the Cat ensures diligence in wool production and charity, with wealthier families giving extra socks to protect the poor from its hungry claws. `
