My wife, Janet, sent me a podcast from the Read-Aloud Revival about Jólabókaflóðið (Jolabokaflod).
Jolabokaflod Distilled: This is an Icelandic tradition. On Christmas Eve you give a new book to someone you care about. Then you curl up with a cup of hot chocolate and read your book.
I thought this seems like the perfect holiday tradition. So tonight we begin with our first attempt at celebrating Jólabókaflóðið.
