JOLABOKAFLOD

a cozy winter holiday

perfect for booklovers!

The Icelandic wintertime tradition of Jolabokaflod translates to

“Christmas Book Flood.”

This unique practice reflects the Nordic love of literature and storytelling, as books are given as gifts and the night is spent reading, sharing stories and enjoying chocolate.

QUOTABLES


In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.

-Albert Camus


Snow was falling,

So much like stars

filling the dark trees

that one could easily imagine

its reason for being was nothing more

than prettiness.

-Mary Oliver


Whose woods these are I think I know


His house is in the village though;


He will not see me stopping here


To watch his woods fill up with snow.

-Robert Frost


My old grandmother always used to say, Summer friends will melt away like summer snows, but winter friends are friends forever.

-George R.R. Martin


Winter kept us warm, covering Earth in forgetful snow.

-T.S. Eliot


I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, ‘Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.'

-Lewis Carroll


I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage,

and tangled Christmas tree lights.

-Maya Angelou
