Yule Lad 5: Another Pot Licker

Pot Scraper

 - arrives at the National Museum on 16 December at 11am

Pot Scraper is expected on 16 December. He is also sometimes called Pot Licker since in the old days he waited to snatch away the pots that had not been washed and licked the food remains from the insides. 

Pot Scraper, the fifth one,
was a funny sort of chap.
When kids were given scrapings,
he'd come to the door and tap.

And they would rush to see
if there really was a guest.
Then he hurried to the pot
and had a scraping fest.

 Again with the eating scraps.  Weird huh?

Today's picture is of Hraunfossar.  It is very pretty, but not nearly as tall as I thought.  They are, in fact, kind of little drops.

From the description:

1. Hraunfossar is a series of waterfalls formed by rivulets streaming over a distance of about 900 metres out of the Hallmundarhraun, a lava field which flowed from an eruption of one of the volcanoes lying under the glacier Langjökull. Wikipedia
