ICELAND
Jol (or Yule) festivities
in Iceland begin on
23 December, St Thorlakur's
Day. It's traditional to eat a
simple meal of boiled potatoes
and fermented skata or skate, a
dish so pungent that many locals
choose to dine out in a restaurant
to keep their homes whiff-free.
Icelandic children open their
presents after the evening meal
on Yule Eve, which is typically
smoked lamb, ham or rock
ptarmigan (a local sea bird), with
turkey. Christmas dinner is likely
to be a leg of roast lamb, puffin
or roasted reindeer.
The Icelanders love fireworks
and there are lots of private

and public displays from 28
December to 4 January, with
colourful explosions lighting
up the winter sky.
New Year's Eve is considered
a magical time in Iceland which,
with its fir tress and deep snow,
is naturally every inch the winter
wonderland. It's when, according
to legend, cows are able to talk,
seals take on human form, the
dead rise from their graves and
the elves move house. Icelanders
light bonfires to 'burn off' the
old year burn with celebrations
continuing long after midnight.
Prettándinn, or the epiphany,
on 6 January is the last day of
Jol. It's celebrated like a second
New Year's Eve in Iceland and
considered just as magical.
