Hurðaskellir is for creative door-slamming.
Hurðaskellir (Door Slammer) is a peculiar Yule Lad and much more of a prankster than most of his brothers. He doesn’t care much for food, but he’s got the obsessive addiction of door-slamming. No door is safe when this crazy rascal is around. The louder the noise, the better – and just to be sure, better repeating the trick more than once in a row: Hurðaskellir’s ego is quite troublesome.
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.
We all know people with the annoying tendency of being very noisy when they close doors, but the problem with Hurðaskellir is that he likes to do that at night. I suggest that you don’t forget to lock any single door in your house, especially if you’re living with somebody with severe heart conditions…
Hurðaskellir is going to harass your doors on 18 December.
omg, this just remembered me of my flatmate, who never wakes me up with slamming doors. when she is somewhere else.
haha! But it’s hard when you are around noisy people, especially when they have different habits than yours. When you want to sleep or you have to concentrate, they want to do chores, or watch TV, or invite others for a drink…
