Check this out! This is the best picture of the Yule Cat they erect in Reykjavik that I've ever seen. You can see the eyes and inside the ears and even the teeth! It was shared by @lilsarah.bsky.social‬ and lives by her office this time of year. She gets to see it every day.

This is amazing! How cool that you get to see this all the time. I've looked at photos of this and thought how cool it would be to see it in real life!!!
