Because of the darkness in Desember in Iceland we like to decorate our towns and homes with all kinds of Christmas lights ✨ Many people leave the lights on for a few weeks after Christmas because it gives them a warm feeling until the days get longer in February 🥰

Icelandic Traditions 🎅🇮🇸
We have 13 Santas who one by one come to town 13 days before Christmas and give children a gift 🎁
The tradition is that those who want a gift must put one shoe out by the window and at night Santa walks between houses and gives a small gift like a candle, a card game, or a tangerine in the shoe. Some Santas get confused and give too big gifts, we wonder why 🎅
Our personal favorite is called "Kertasníkir", he comes the night before December 24th and likes to receive an old candle in exchange for a gift in the shoe 🥾
What do Icelanders eat for Christmas dinner? 🧐
Probably the most popular meal during the holiday is pork called "Hamborgarahryggur" but many people are starting to find it too heavy on the stomach so lighter food has gained popularity and "Hnetusteik" which is a vegan option has become more popular in the last 10 years 🌱
Painting gingerbread cookies and making gingerbread houses is probably done in every home in December 🎅🏻🍪

Most Icelandic people celebrate when we get a white Christmas because the snow brightens the short days 🎄✨Daylight never exceeds 4-5 hours in December in Iceland.

Spending time outdoors in a peaceful environment is something we are very thankful for, children can often make snow houses, snowmen, and angels in the snow ☃️

Many people take hot cocoa with them, to play outside, to help keep them warm in the cold weather. For others it's a good excuse to stay inside with a handful of cookies watching Christmas movies 🥰

It is essential to stop by Perlan if you come to Iceland this winter. The view is wonderful, and you can go to the café on the top floor with the tallest windows in town. 🤩On the bottom floor you can enter a completely different world and, among other things, walk through an ice cave. ❄️
