In Iceland, it is traditional to exchange gifts on Christmas Eve, a practice known as "Jól." Families typically gather for a festive dinner and then exchange presents, often accompanied by the reading of books or sharing stories. Many Icelanders also enjoy the custom of giving and receiving warm clothing, such as sweaters, as a nod to the country’s chilly winter climate. This tradition emphasizes family bonding and the joy of giving during the holiday season.
