*It's a year of lots of new things, so why not start a new tradition--the Icelandic tradition of reading and drinking hot cocoa on December 24. True, the books are often given as gifts, but who says you can't read something from the library?  translates loosely as "flood of books" and has its origins after World War II, where paper was  one of the few things that were not rationed. Hence, the publishing industry pushed to make books the go-to gift for the holidays and a new tradition was born.
