National traditions


In Iceland, Christmas is very important and is celebrated everywhere in society; families, friends and colleagues make the season special by having Christmas parties, baking cookies and Laufabrauð, or leaf bread in English, and decorating their homes. The festive season starts in early December or the last years  late November,but the main day of celebration for Icelanders is Christmas Eve, December 24th.

I'm busy these days to practice and learn about WordPress and everything about marketing online. This is very exciting stuff and extensive. This is my dream so much fun :-) It takes several months or more to learn it all. Sandi Krakowski is a very good teacher for all information related to WordPress and I've listened to it recently and I will continue to do so she is so encouraging and funny :-) Hope you  all have a good day ....
