Christmas Adventure In Iceland

The highlight is the funny new “Let’s Talk Christmas” skit where you will learn about both Icelandic Christmas traditions and the Thirteen Yule Lads from their mother, Gryla the Troll. Many of these unusual traditions have their origins in Old Norse legends and practices, but they are still an active part of modern Icelandic life.
