Gleðileg Jól!
I went to the pool this morning, and the place rang with people wishing Merry Christmas to each other. One woman even said it to the crowd of unknowns as she left, receiving a chorus in return. Iceland's fun at Christmas, and this year I get to share it with family. The members who already have seen Iceland once have come again (parents and one brother) and are staying here through New Years. We've experienced the mall crowds, joined half the country as they paraded down Laugavegur last night, and today we're going to cook the traditional hamborgarhryggur thanks to the able help of B who offered emergency boiling (or not boiling) advice. I'm singing in the welcome-to-Christmas mass this evening, then tomorrow it's hangikjöt and cream sauce. Thanks to all the wonderful people here who have opened their homes to us, and I wish you all a fantastic holiday, whenever you celebrate it!

Merry Christmas to you. I enjoy your posts a lot. You are a good writer. I'm in the writing business myself and I would never make a compliment like this if it wasn't true. I hope to read more of your posts in the year to come!
Best wishes,
Britt
Mike- Hope I see you here again next year, maybe as a permanent resident :-)
anon- thanks!
Jade- it's been a grand time, and I think you'll rather enjoy it yourself. Aren't you moving here in 2007?
Sirrý- I got them, having been waylaid by the post office. Thank you :-)
Britt- Thanks for the compliment, and I hope to continue writing. So far there's still plenty of content left here on this crazy island though!
Sarah- It's not very wintry here right now but still fun. I'm drinking out of the cup you gave me here- in a sea of white china it's easy to spot it!
