“The culture of giving books as presents is very deeply rooted in how families perceive Christmas as a holiday,” says Kristjan B. Jonasson, president of the Iceland Publishers Association. “Normally, we give the presents on the night of the 24th and people spend the night reading. In many ways, it’s the backbone of the publishing sector here in Iceland.” (via Literary Iceland Revels In Its Annual ‘Christmas Book Flood’ : NPR)
What?! I want to do this! New Christmas tradition! :)))
I was very fortunate, and had a real white Christmas this year. Caitlin and I sure enjoyed ourselves in the snow.

“ Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas…perhaps…means a little bit more! ”
