How To Adopt This Christmas Eve Tradition
If you’ve fallen in love with this Iceland tradition and want to make it part of your holiday plans, we’ve rounded up a few ways for you to get started.
Round Up Books
You can buy new books, reserve them from the library, thrift them, or you can even give away books you own and no longer want.
Get Wrapping
Part of this tradition involves wrapping each book and placing them under the Christmas tree. You can find fancy ways to wrap books on Instagram, like @SeraphicNovels did, which will result in it looking like a piece of art when it’s placed among other gifts, or you can place it in a gift bag or go the classic wrapping route.
Open Your Gifts and Get Reading
After everyone opens up their book, guests don’t just go home. Instead, it’s common for everyone to spend time in the evening reading together that night. Because of this, it’s good to have everyone over earlier in the evening or to host a sleepover so your guests can then wake up and celebrate Christmas morning with you.
