Here’s the Book Barmy annual holiday post…
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, families snuggle into their homes with a hot drink and enjoy their new books.
Wishing all my fellow book lovers a traditional Jólabókaflóð
Merry Christmas and happy reading, from Book Barmy headquarters
P.S. Husband and I are spending the holidays in much warmer climes…
Comment Come back rested, warm and ready to write !
Book Barmy is one of the most delightful things I can think of, and I need another ‘fix’ in the near future. s.a.
