Hey everyone. It´s been way too long since I last blogged. What can I say...I´m a little flaky when it comes to daily writing. I never could keep a diary/journal. Since I spend so much time these days writing for my masters thesis (maybe I´ll share more on that another time) I thought writing for fun could be therapeutic. This time I have a good reason to write everyday!
I have been living in Iceland since July 2009 and this Christmas is my second time in Iceland (I went home last Christmas). I have decided to share Icelandic traditions, one in particular, with all of you who wish to read this ;) Starting tomorrow I´m going to explain the story of Iceland´s 13 "Santa clauses". Spoiler alert: these Santa's are nothing like your typical American Santa (FYI many Icelanders refer to this Santa as the "coca-cola Santa" which I find strange but maybe that´s because to me it´s just Santa). Bring an open mind to this story because frankly I think it sounds more Halloween than Christmas but I like different...different´s good and of course being and American girl in Iceland...I have experienced different! Anyway, be ready tomorrow the story begins!
Keep it up H. It's always fun to read views on Icelandic traditions from foreigners and your blog is a good read.
