About this listen

What if I told you there’s an Icelandic Christmas tradition where the whole point is to spend an evening sitting around, sipping hot cocoa, and reading books?


Sign me up, right?


Today, we’re talking about Jolabokaflod, which loosely translates to “Yule Book Flood,” how it started, and how you can bring the magic of this bookish tradition into your home this Christmas.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • Where the Icelandic Yule Book Flood first began
  • How Jolabokaflod is an invitation to slow down and connect with each other during the busy Christmas season
  • The only three things you need for your Jolabokaflod, plus tips from RAR members on how they celebrate
