RAR Best of: Your New Favorite Tradition - Jolabokaflod

Published: Dec. 14, 2023, 1:19 p.m.

Today we\u2019re airing one of my favorite episodes from last year, all about Jolabokaflod, which is a Christmas \u201cbook flood,\u201d in the Icelandic tradition.


What if I told you this tradition makes your life easier, not harder?\xa0


During Jolabokaflod, you gift members of your family with new books, and everyone drinks hot cocoa and spends the whole of Christmas Eve reading. If I didn\u2019t get your attention before, I\u2019ve got it now.


There is so much that happens this time of year that adds to our to-do list, that puts more on our plates, but Jolabokaflod is truly a joy. It is a moment of rest and refreshment for you too.


In this episode, you\u2019ll hear:\xa0

  • Where the tradition came from
  • 3 super-simple steps to your own Jolabokaflod
  • How other mamas just like you have made the tradition their own


I hope you bring this tradition to your family and that you have a wonderful, wonderful Christmas.
