Two years ago, we did Christmas in Iceland. It turned out to be a good vacation.

@SW-User That sounds nice. Might sound random but what were the buildings/towns/villages like?

@SW-User The atmosphere was peaceful and not hectic. The weather was good some of the days but not all.
I think there were more places closed on Christmas Eve than Christmas day.

@SW-User Maybe Christmas eve is when they open most their presents. I've heard some countries do that.

@amethyst1 I was only in Reykjavik on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I bet you the small cities were just as quiet.

@amethyst1 In theory, they have a tradition of getting books as gifts on Christmas Eve and they spend Christmas reading their gifts.
