Húsavíkurkirkja is one of my personal favorites. It was built in 1907 and stands in the center of town. It's the only one of its kind in Iceland. Have you seen this iconic church? #Iceland #IcelandTrip #IcelandAdventure #IcelandChurches #Churches

If you climb the stairs at Skógafoss and hike urther, you'll be rewarded with more waterfalls. The first is Hestavaðsfoss, a two-tiered waterfall 200 meters up the path. This waterfall alone is worth it! #Iceland #IcelandTrip #IcelandAdventure #Wanderlust #WaterfallWednesday #IcelandWaterfalls

Tonight, Kertasníkir arrives (AI image):
The thirteenth was Candle Beggar
- 'twas cold, I believe,
If he was not the last
of the lot on Christmas Eve.
He trailed after the little ones
who, like happy sprites,
ran about the farm with
their fine tallow lights.

Tonight, Kjötkrókur arrives:
Meat Hook, the twelfth one,
his talent would display
as soon as he arrived
on Saint Thorlak's Day.
He snagged himself a morsel
of meat of any sort,
although his hook at times was
a tiny bit short.

Tonight, Gáttaþefur arrives (AI image):
Eleventh was Door Sniffer,
a doltish lad and gross.
He never got a cold, yet had
a huge, sensitive nose.
He caught the scent of lace bread
while leagues away still
and ran toward it weightless
as wind over dale and hill.

Tonight, Gluggagægir arrives:
The tenth was Window Peeper,
a weird little twit,
who stepped up to the window
and stole a peek through it.
And whatever was inside
to which his eye was drawn,
he most likely attempted
to take later on.

Tonight, Bjúgnakrækir arrives (AI image):
The ninth was Sausage Swiper,
a shifty pilferer.
He climbed up to the rafters
and raided food from there.
Sitting on a crossbeam
in soot and in smoke,
he fed himself on sausage
Fit for gentlefolk.

Tonight, Skyrgámur arrives:
Skyr Gobbler, the eighth,
was an awful stupid bloke.
He lambasted the skyr tub
til the lid on it broke.
Then he stood there gobbling
- his greed was well known -
until, about to burst,
he would bleat, howl, and groan.

Tonight, Hurðaskellir arrives:
The seventh was Door Slammer,
a sorry, vulgar chap:
When people in the twilight
would take a little nap,
he was happy as a lark
with the havoc he could wreak,
slamming doors and hearing
the hinges on them squeak.

Tonight, Askasleikir arrives:
Bowl Licker, the sixth one,
was shockingly ill bred.
From underneath the bedsteads
he stuck his ugly head.
And when the bowls were left
to be licked by dog or cat,
he snatched them for himself
- he was sure good at that!
