A Christmas Favorite Bringing this back from last year, just ’cause I love it much. In Iceland, it is a Christmas Eve tradition to give a book as a gift. This is called Jólabókaflóð, or the Christmas Book Flood. This time of year the sun doesn’t rise until 11 AM & it’s dark by 3 PM.… So after a brisk (and chilly!) afternoon walk around town with the rest of their neighbors, the whole family snuggles into their homes with a hot drink and to read their new books. Wishing all my fellow book lovers a traditional Jólabókaflóð Merry Christmas ~~and to all a good night ~~
