An illustrated calendar of Iceland’s unique holidays and whimsical seasonal events.
In Iceland, we have a saying: Að gera sér glaðan dag. It means “To make a happy day for yourself.” We Icelanders like to make happy days for ourselves. Some of our days go back hundreds of years and celebrate special traditions or events in our history. Others are more recent additions or are simply for fun. In this beautifully illustrated book, we invite you to share in some of our happy days and seasonal events, and to gera þér glaðan dag.
