Better not have a pair of shoes than not having a book! - Says an old Icelandic saying. And not in vain... In Iceland, the ideal Christmas gift is a book.
And on the night of December 25, the Irish spend reading and eating chocolate until they close their eyes. This has led to a long tradition, dating back to World War II, known as <x0...jolabokofofood”, which means “Christmas Book Flood”, which means some flood from Christmas books.
“World Economic Forum” named Iceland one of the world's most educated countries. According to statistics, 1 in 10 Icelandic in life publishes a book. Even publishing houses always make new headlines before Christmas because that is when more books are sold throughout the country.
