This tradition began during World War II once Iceland had gained its independence for Denmark in 1944. Paper was one of the few commodities not rationed during the war, so Icelanders shared their love of books even more as other types of gifts were short supply.
During the festive season, gifts are opened on December 24th and, by tradition, everyone reads the books they have been given straight away, often while drinking hot chocolate.
If that sounds amazing to you, then let us help you start or continue a Jolabokaflod condition of your own! Using our Jolabokaflod page, you tell us about the recipients and their reading preferences, and we'll choose the best books and send them to you in plenty of time for giving!
