And to all a good night…

A favorite post from last Christmas Eve.

In Iceland, it is a Christmas Eve tradition to give a book as a gift.

This is called  Jólabókaflóð, or the Christmas Book Flood.

At Christmas the sun doesn’t rise until 11 am and 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 ~~

                                 and to all a good night ~~
