\\nEnglish version of the Poem about St\\xfafur
\\nStubby was the third called,
\\na stunted little man,
\\nwho watched for every chance
\\nto whisk off a pan.

\\nhe scraped off the bits
\\nthat stuck to the bottom
\\nand brims \\u2013 his favorites.
\\nIcelandic Christmas Tradition
\\nBuying and eating clementines during the Christms season. Not very long ago, it was considered fairly rare to have a decent variety of fruits available in Iceland. I have friends who are in their mid 40s and up, who say they grew up looking forward to Christmas because that was the only  time in the year when they go clementines.

\\nEven though Icelanders can probably get them shipped in anytime now, they pretty much pop up in abundance during this season.
