OT I'm celebrating Jólabókaflóð this year!

[SlyPokerDog]

It's the Icelandic tradition of giving books and chocolate on Christmas Eve. Who doesn't like books and chocolate? I'm doing this in addition to regular Christmas presents.

It's actually been fun selecting books for everyone.

Illiterate diabetics?

Wrong board for this thread. You must have meant S2's Fat Girl board.

We about died getting everyone their books and chocolate in this icy, snowy mess but it was a YUGE hit!

This turned out to be really popular. Since Christmas falls on a Tuesday this year I've decided to make this A Christmas Story type of party and hold it on Sunday afternoon at a nice Chinese Restaurant.

Icelandic tradition at a Chinese Restaurant, I'm appropriating some cultures!

American service members participating in NATO training exercises in the North Atlantic drank so much they caused a beer shortage at bars in Reykjavik during a stopover in Iceland.
