RADIO: Jolabokaflod aka the "Christmas Book Flood."

[Ryan Goble]

Wouldn't it be cool do do holiday book floods at schools all over the country - my mom (Pam Goble) hipped me to this story ...

Icelanders primarily give books for Christmas. It's a tradition so rooted in the culture, it has its very own name -- Jolabokaflod, or the "Christmas Book Flood." This 2012 story by @NPR dives into the book-giving frenzy. https://t.co/3kp81VXgcA pic.twitter.com/8l0t5mLNGu
