Þrettándinn (e. 'the thirteenth') bids farwell to the Yuletide season. In Iceland folklore has it that today the last yulelad makes his way back to the mountaints, that cows can talk and that seals transform into humans and dance naked. It is also the last day it is legal to set off fireworks without a special permit.
We celebrate it with huge bonfires, I guess to appease the elves and other supernatural spirits that are out and about on this night.
Even when it's raining.
