Why? ^ That is funny! this man is wrong, it is because Icelandic people believe in trolls that give you things. there are 12 trolls and a mother (Grela).

Answer 2

In Iceland people celebrate 13 days of Christmas rather than 12. It starts on December 24 and ends on January 6. On January 6 all the decorations are removed from houses and the streets. During the 4th and 5th centuries January 6 celebrated the christening of Jesus and the three Wise Men.
