when does iceland celebrate christmas

In Iceland, Christmas is celebrated on December 24th, but it's not the only day of celebration. December 23rd is also a day of celebration, known as Jolabokaflod or the "Christmas Book Flood." On this day, people receive and exchange books, which they then spend the evening reading. The next day, December 24th, is when the main celebrations take place, with families gathering to eat a traditional meal and exchange gifts. The festivities continue into the next day, December 25th, with a Christmas Mass at the church.
