(IS) Christmas in Iceland
Preparations for Christmas start in
the beginning of December when most people decorate their houses and gardens
with some Christmas lights. Most people use December for other preparations for
the festivities, such as baking an assortments of cookies which are consumed
over the holidays.
Christmas itself is celebrated 24, 25 and 26 of December but on the 23rd many
celanders eat fermented skate (a fish) with potatoes and melted sheep fat. It smells
very bad but many find it delicious althoug there are many who will never eat it.
Christmas begin at 6 o‘clock at
Christmas Eve, December 24th. The custom in most families is to eat dinner and
then open the Christmas presents. Some go to Christmas mass which begins at 6
o‘clock and then eat dinner, but there are always fewer and fewer who do this.
Most people get several parcels for Christmas. There are gifts from parents, siblings and grandparents, and also from cousins, uncles and aunts. It is very common for children to recieve 10 gifts and some even more.
The
most common festivity food eaten at Christmas is smoked lamb, smoked ham or
ptarmigan ( a game bird from the grouse family, Lagopus). In recent years
turkey has made its way to the Christmas dinner table and the main reason is
that the ptarmigan has declined in numbers and fewer people go ptarmigan
hunting. For dessert many enjoy ris à
l'amande (rice pudding) with an almond hidden in the bowl and the lucky one who
gets the almond on his plate is rewarded with a small gift.
The Icelandic yule lads (an equivalent for santa Claus) are 13 brothers living in the mountains and before Christams they come down from the mountains one by one. The first one arrives 12 December and tha last one visits 24 December. Children put their shoes in their windows in the evening of 11 December and the yule lads bring small presents which they place in the shoes. The children must take care to behave or they risk recieving an old potato from the yule lad visiting the following night. They leave for the mountains after christmas, one by one and the last ones leaves on January 5th. Every yule lad has his own name and his uniqe characteristics. In the olden days they were quite the pranksters and their mother, who was a troll called Gryla, had a reputation for eating naughty children. Her husband is Leppaludi and together they had the Christmas cat, a black cat monster who according to legend ate children that had not recieved any new clothes.
Following are the Yule lads‘ names, their
„speciality“, arrival date and the date they leave for home.
