Heartwarming Winter Holidays and Bookish Traditions

Nothing like a bit of nostalgia and warm fuzzies over the holidays! [Share]( [Share]( [Tweet]( [Tweet]( [Forward]( [Forward]( Many different types of winter holidays are observed this time of year. Whether you are celebrating Christmas, Hannukah, Yule, Solstice, Twelfth Night, St Mikuláš Day, or any of the other seasonal celebrations around the world, why not incorporate delightful bookish traditions into your winter plans? Jólabókaflóð or “Christmas Book Flood” This wonderful idea hails from Iceland and it's been gaining in popularity around the world. All you have to do to participate is exchange books as gifts on Christmas Eve and promptly tuck into reading them while drinking hot chocolate and snuggling under blankets. Perfection! Who doesn't appreciate some quiet reading time at what is often the most stressful time of the year? A bit of history: Jólabókaflóð began during WWII. In post-war Iceland, paper was one of the few things that wasn't rationed, so the newly independent country embraced their bibliophilic nature and celebrated with books for everyone! [Get your Jólabókaflóð books ordered now!]( Reading special books with loved ones: It doesn't seem like the holidays without someone reading aloud a wintery tale. Whether it is [The Night Before Christmas]( by Clement C. Moore, Dr. Seuss’s [How the Grinch Stole Christmas]( or [A Christmas Carol]( by Charles Dickens, there are many holiday-themed tales to choose from. If your family doesn't have a tradition of story-sharing, why not start one? We recently received a lovely letter from a customer who purchased a special book as a gift for her niece last year. They have begun an annual custom of reading the story together as a family, and now have a new baby to share that experience with!
