In 1932 poet Jóhannes úr Kötlum published his verses about Icelandic Christmas traditions, Christmas is coming. Jóhannes úr Kötlum used mostly the same names for the Yuletide- Lads as Reverend Páll Jónsson at Myrká (1812-1889) seventy years earlier in Jón Árnason's folklore collection. With this poem, it can be said that Jóhannes fixed the names of the Yuletide- Lads, their number and the order in which they go to the settlements. There are thirteen Yule Lads in the book, although it is said that there were many more. Tryggvi Magnússon illustrated the book. Griffla published the book in an English translation by Hallberg Hallmundsson in 2015 under the title Christmas is coming : verse for children and in 2022 Mál og menning published the book in Polish translated by Nina Słowińska under the title Idą święta : wiersze dla dzieci and for that reason this exhibition and catalog is partly in Polish. In 1989, the National and University Library of Iceland acquired the original copies of the drawings in Christmas is coming and they are preserved in the Library´s manuscript collection.
