Jolabokaflod! I love this concept from Iceland: People give each other books as gifts on December 24 and spend the night reading. 📚

an Icelandic tradition in which books are given as Christmas presents and opened on December 24, after which the evening is spent reading the books: from a practice begun in 1944, when paper goods were among the most available items in postwar Iceland.

That's pretty nice. In my family it's often: in the evening one reads for a while for the rest of the family. After a while the next turns reading + so on. Hours go by without being meant they're hours but minutes. Dangerous for next working day ;) All together when they were kids on sofa + blanket.

We adopted this tradition in our house about 5 years ago. It's a good night when everybody gets a new book.
