Today is the end of the Christmas season in Iceland and one of the four Icelandic holidays that have a special connection to Huldufólk (hidden people). The Christmas season in Iceland lasts thirteen days and today, the final day, is called Þrettándinn or ‘’The Thirteenth’’.
There are some supernatural events that happen today such as cows that can talk. However, do not try to talk to them or even listen to them because it will drive humans insane. Another legend says that seals can become human and they will be walking around on the land. The last one of the thirteen Jólasveinar (Yule Lads) return to their homes in the mountain caves. Watch out!! The elves and the trolls will be trying to get more people to join them in their magical land. The Elf Kings and Elf Queens will be singing and dancing and many magical happenings will take place on this mystic night.
