The last of the Christmas Lads departs on Epiphany. People hold parties on this day to mark the end of the Christmas season, and some people costume themselves as one of the Christmas Lads or their troll parents. In addition, Icelanders often mark the day with bonfires into which they throw the trash that has accumulated over the holidays.
