There’s a tradition in Iceland that dates back to World War II where imports were in short supply, but paper was available. Icelanders decided to give each other books on Christmas Eve and spend the evening reading, and they continue this tradition today. Jolabokaflod translates to “Christmas book flood,” and may sound like the perfect way to spend the holidays for many of us.
