Book lovers of our country will want to adopt this lovely holiday tradition, which melds literary and holiday pleasures into a single event.

Do you know that Icelanders have a beautiful tradition of giving books to each other on Christmas Eve and then spending the night reading? This custom is so deeply ingrained in the culture that it is the reason for the Jolabokaflod, or “Christmas Book Flood,” when the majority of books in Iceland are sold between September and December in preparation for Christmas giving.
