The fifth of these funny lads is Pottaskefill arriving on the 16th of December. His special trait was to knock on the door every time children were given leftovers from the pots as a treat and when they would come to the door he would sneak into the kitchen to steal the leftovers.
The sixth of the brothers is called Askasleikir and he arrives on the 17th of December. He would hide beneath the beds waiting for people to lay down their bowls (askur) which was costumery to lay down to the floor for the cats and dogs to clean. That’s when he would stick out his ugly head to lick the leftovers from the bowls.
