See all- 3rd annual Jolabokaflod! Icelandic tradition of giving/receiving booksPanera Bread, Mesa, AZ
"It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year......"
Last year we picked our favorite book from 2023, this year pick your favorite book from 2020 to present day! The book that made you sigh when you put it down because it was so good. :)
1. BUY your favorite book from the above criteria and wrap it up. Do not put your name on it.
2. BUY a cute bookmark to gift as well! Insert it into the book.
The tradition is known as Jolabokaflod, which translates roughly to "Christmas book flood" in English.
Jolabokaflod started during World War II, when paper was one of the few things not rationed in Iceland. Because of this, Icelanders gave books as gifts while other commodities were in short supply, turning them into a country of bookaholics to this day, according to jolabokaflod.org. - It's a Festivus miracle!

Festivus (/ˈfɛstɪvəs/) is a secular holiday celebrated on December 23 as an alternative to the perceived pressures and commercialism of the Christmas season. Originally created by author Daniel O'Keefe, Festivus entered popular culture after it was made the focus of the 1997 Seinfeld episode "The Strike",[1][2] which O'Keefe's son, Dan O'Keefe, co-wrote.
The non-commercial holiday's celebration, as depicted on Seinfeld, occurs on December 23 and includes a Festivus dinner, an unadorned aluminum Festivus pole, practices such as the "airing of grievances" and "feats of strength", and the labeling of easily explainable events as "Festivus miracles".[3] The episode refers to it as "a Festivus for the rest of us".Please keep your RSVP up to date. Any No Shows will be removed from the group. And please only RSVP in one Meetup group. This is a Co-Ed event.
