Every Christmas Eve, the Icelandic people practice something called 'jolabokaflod,' which translates to 'Christmas book flood. ... Jolabokaflod involves giving books as presents on Christmas Eve, so that friends and family can spend the cozy night in curled up with a good story. We have exported and imported many Christmas traditions over the years but this is one us librarians would recommend - the Icelandic 'jolabokaflod’.
