In Iceland, books are exchanged as
Christmas Eve presents, then you spend
the rest of the night in bed reading them
and eating chocolate. The tradition is
part of a season called Jolabokaflod, or
‘The Christmas Book Flood’, because
Iceland, which publishes more books
per capita than any other country, sells
most of its books between September
and November due to people preparing
for the upcoming holiday. SourceSource 2Source 3
