Jólabókaflód In Iceland , people often gather to read books during Cristmas Eve. Most families do it together at home, instead of watching tv. In fact, publishers and bookshops edit lists of recent releases which send to the families during December. Furthermore, these lists include not only what is new but also suggestions based on the tastes of potential readers, so that people may chose the book to read on Cristmas Eve and wait expectant to do it at that time. This phaenomenon is called by the word of my entry title. This tradition began when Second World War ended, being more and more popular over the years. What a nice way to enjoy Cristmas Eve. Despite being surprising at first sight, it would not be that, because Icelanders love read, so it is easy to understand the success of this performance. A nation which people love books like they do, surely are able to build a better community, whose priorities are education and social rights, form by true free citizen. Iceland people have done it. Congratulations for them.
