Thanksgiving Continued. Sarah is back with faithful watcher, Bettina who helps us get updated on all of the Thanksgiving movies.  We do a decent recap of Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Lovestory.  Sarah has a controversial opinion of it.  Bettina tells us which movie is the worst one ever.  Full review of the one we were waiting for, The Christmas Quest with #MorePolaha. Alana Higman is sure that her family's lifelong history as Kansas City Chiefs superfans makes them a frontrunner to win the team's “Fan of the Year” contest. Derrick, Director of Fan Engagement, is tasked with evaluating how Alana and her family stack up against the other two finalists. As the pair spends time together, it's clear there's a spark between them but when her grandfather's vintage Chiefs good-luck winter hat goes missing, Alana begins to doubt everything she believed about fate, destiny and even questions her future with Derrick – unless, that is, a little Christmas magic can throw a Hail Mary. Starring Hunter King and Tyler Hynes. An archeologist and her ex-husband, an expert in ancient Norse languages, are sent to Iceland at Christmastime to search for the legendary treasure of the Yule Lads. When others join in the hunt, the pair find themselves swept into a thrilling adventure as they race to keep it from falling into the wrong hands. Starring Lacey Chabert and Kristoffer Polaha.

She's climbing rocks with one hand and gets up to a rock with some sort of message on it. Suddenly, the rock slides back, and she finds a notebook. She's pumped. AND THAT'S THE CHRISTMAS QUEST!We're back in Boston, MA, and Erin Cahill is back home with her daughter. Her daughter gives her a compass as a Christmas gift. They cuddle up on the couch, and Erin opens the special book, sharing the story of the Yule Lads. Suddenly, it's no longer Erin Cahill reading the story. Rather, it's Lacey Chabert, who is giving a lecture at Heast College about the book her mom found. Lacey's name is Dr. Baxter, Dr. Stefani Baxter! Her boss tells her she should go find the Yule Lads' treasure. She's skeptical, saying treasure hunters have been trying to find it for years, and her mom gave up. It's impossible. But he insists, presenting her with a map that might be helpful, and suggests she try to figure it out during Christmas break.Off she goes and finds a box with the Yule horn in it—pretty easily, actually. The horn is the key to finding the rest of the treasure, but she can't read the language on the horn. However, she knows someone who can—HER EX-HUSBAND, CHASE. He's happy to see her until he finds out it's just because she needs him to translate something. But when he realizes it's the Yule Horn, he can't help himself. When he finds out they're going to Iceland to try to find the rest of the treasure, he also can't resist. Chase is on the case! Off to Iceland!First stop is a church, where they find a message written on the bottom of one of the tiles. The second clue is a very cryptic message about light. They notice they're being watched by some people as they continue their journey. They travel a couple of hours to an amazing cave and find another clue. That night, they go to a bar, and she talks to a friend about what happened between them. She loves him, but he was never happy with how devoted she was to her work and expeditions, so she let him go.At the next hunt, they get stuck in a cave. One of the people who've been following them agrees to help them out.We then get a montage of them finding another handful of clues. This montage includes a baking sequence, so we're all better for it.The clues ultimately bring them to an art exhibit. The only problem is that it's closed for a fancy Christmas party. They get dressed up and almost kiss but are interrupted.They head to the party and manage to sneak in. They can't find the treasure anywhere, so they assume it must be in storage. They sneak a keycard from Hendrick. They get caught, so they just kiss to make the person go away. They find the final clue, and that's when the guy funding the quest shows up and drops the bomb that he's going to call the buyer to meet them! She says she thought this was going to a museum to help preserve history. He says, "As is." So she says, "I'm out!" But Chase says he'll stay in case they need someone to read something. It turns out he just wanted to stay close so he could steal the clue back. He meets back up with Stefani.As they're on their way to the final clue, Stefani realizes she may have been wrong about it. They head to the first location and find another tunnel. They figure out how to open the door, and on the other side, it's a Christmas wonderland full of Christmas... trinkets. They're both like, “What the heck? This isn't treasure. This is just junk.” But then she finds her mom's compass. She realizes her mom has already found all the clues and been in this room. She realizes that her mom suddenly stopped treasure hunting one day. She must have learned that the real treasure is the people in your life, not actual treasure. She finds a note her mom wrote her. They head out, and they hear the Yule Lads laughing as the door slams shut again.They kiss each other real big, the best treasure you can find. Then they go get some eggnog and kiss some more.

Iceland's Magical 13th Day of Christmas – Folklore Friday

Today is the first episode of my Folklore Friday series, where I am sharing fascinating stories from Icelandic folklore on Fridays throughout 2024. This one is extra special because tomorrow is January 6th and it is said that many magical things happen then in Iceland. Why January 6th is the end of Christmas in Iceland On January 6th, Iceland bids a vibrant farewell to its Christmas season, a day steeped in magic and folklore. Known as Þrettándinn or "The Thirteenth," this day marks the culmination of a thirteen-day yuletide celebration. Having 13 days of Christmas is uniquely Icelandic in its charm and mystique.In Iceland, Christmas starts on the 24th of December, and Þrettándinn, literally translating to "the thirteenth," aligns with what many know as the twelfth night of Christmas. But here, it holds a deeper significance, intertwining with the enchanting lore of Huldufólk, the hidden people of Icelandic tales.As the day unfolds, the end of the festive season is celebrated. The last of the Yule Lads their family begin their journey back to their homes in the mountains. This retreat signals the end of their annual visit, as they vow to return next Christmas.Under the starlit sky, Icelanders traditionally gather around roaring bonfires on this day. Songs of the New Year and elfin melodies float through the air, a celebration of community and folklore. Keep an Eye Out for the Mystical Icelandic Creatures that Might Appear But the magic of Þrettándinn extends beyond the visible. It's a day when cows are whispered to possess the gift of speech. Their words a tantalizing mystery, yet one must resist the urge to listen, for their voices are said to bring madness. Seals shed their normal appearance and wander the land in human form. It's a sight both wondrous and eerie.The most fascinating part of all is that the Elf King and Queen are said to show up at the bonfires. They dance and sing around the crackling flames. Their jubilant voices echo through the night, a reminder of the enchantment that pervades this mystic evening.Þrettándinn stands as a unique and captivating finale to Iceland's Christmas season. A day where the line between the ordinary and the magical blurs, leaving behind memories as vivid as the Northern Lights themselves.After this day, the festive spirit dims in homes across Iceland. Christmas lights might stay up until the end of the month because the light is nice to see during the dark months. However, trees are dismantled, and decorations are tucked away until next year. Icelandic Word of the Episode Due to so many random facts already shared in this episode, I don't have a separate segment for that but the Icelandic word of the episode is Þrettándabrennur, which translates to the thirteenth bonfires.

Gleðileg jól frá Saga Thing! We're back with another exciting holiday discovery for you. This time, we share a bit of backgroundy stuff about the famous Yule Lads of Icelandic tradition before premiering a brand new poem about them. This may or may not be the oldest surviving poem about the Yule Lads, though we have some suspicions about the nature of the manuscript we were working from for the translation. Either way, it's a lot of fun. Merry Christmas! If you're interested, here's the original poem (in Icelandic) by Jóhannes úr Kötlum “Jólasveinarnir” by Jóhannes úr Kötlum English translation by Hallberg Hallmundsson Let me tell the story of the lads of few charms, who once upon a time used to visit our farms. Thirteen altogether, these gents in their prime didn´t want to irk people all at one time. They came from the mountains, as many of you know, in a long single file to the farmsteads below. Creeping up, all stealth, they unlocked the door. The kitchen and the pantry they came looking for. Grýla was their mother – she gave them ogre milk – and the father Leppalúdi; a loathsome ilk. They hid where they could, with a cunning look or sneer, ready with their pranks when people weren´t near. They were called the Yuletide lads – at Yuletide they were due – and always came one by one, not ever two by two. And even when they were seen, they weren´t loath to roam and play their tricks – disturbing the peace of the home. The first of them was Sheep-Cote Clod. He came stiff as wood, to pray upon the farmer´s sheep as far as he could. He wished to suck the ewes, but it was no accident he couldn´t; he had stiff knees – not to convenient. The second was Gully Gawk, gray his head and mien. He snuck into the cow barn from his craggy ravine. Hiding in the stalls, he would steal the milk, while the milkmaid gave the cowherd a meaningful smile. Stubby was the third called, a stunted little man, who watched for every chance to whisk off a pan. And scurrying away with it, he scraped off the bits that stuck to the bottom and brims – his favorites. The fourth was Spoon Licker; like spindle he was thin. He felt himself in clover when the cook wasn´t in. Then stepping up, he grappled the stirring spoon with glee, holding it with both hands for it was slippery. Pot Scraper, the fifth one, was a funny sort of chap. When kids were given scrapings, he´d come to the door and tap. And they would rush to see if there really was a guest. Then he hurried to the pot and had a scrapingfest. Bowl Licker, the sixth one, was shockingly ill bred. From underneath the bedsteads he stuck his ugly head. And when the bowls were left to be licked by dog or cat, he snatched them for himself – he was sure good at that! The seventh was Door Slammer, a sorry, vulgar chap: When people in the twilight would take a little nap, he was happy as a lark with the havoc he could wreak, slamming doors and hearing the hinges on them sqeak Skyr Gobbler, the eighth, was an awful stupid bloke. He lambasted the skyr tub till the lid on it broke. Then he stood there gobbling – his greed was well known – until, about to burst, he would bleat, howl and groan. The ninth was Sausage Swiper, a shifty pilferer. He climbed up to the rafters and raided food from there. Sitting on a crossbeam in soot and in smoke, he fed himself on sausage fit for gentlefolk. The tenth was Window Peeper, a weird little twit, who stepped up to the window and stole a peek through it. And whatever was inside to which his eye was drawn, he most likely attempted to take later on. Eleventh was Door Sniffer, a doltish lad and gross. He never got a cold, yet had a huge, sensitive nose. He caught the scent of lace bread while leagues away still and ran toward it weightless as wind over dale and hill Meat Hook, the twelfth one, his talent would display as soon as he arrived on Saint Thorlak´s Day. He snagged himself a morsel of meet of any sort, although his hook at times was a tiny bit short. The thirteenth was Candle Beggar – ´twas cold, I believe, if he was not the last of the lot on Christmas Eve. He trailed after the little ones who, like happy sprites, ran about the farm with their fine tallow lights. On Christmas night itself – so a wise man writes – the lads were all restraint and just stared at the lights. Then one by one they trotted off into the frost and snow. On Twelfth Night the last of the lads used to go. Their footprints in the highlands are effaced now for long, the memories have all turned to image and song

7 Wonderful Ways to Experience Christmas in Reykjavik, Iceland

All Things Iceland Podcast

The Christmas season is in full swing in Iceland. Many of my podcast listeners and followers on social media have asked about some awesome ways to experience Christmas in Iceland. Back in 2019, I shared 16 Christmas Activities to Do While Visiting Iceland on the podcast. While that list is still helpful, I wanted to update it a bit and provide some more links to activities that you might find helpful.Iceland during Christmas is a wonderland of unique traditions and festive activities, particularly in the Reykjavík area. Here are six reasons why these activities make for an unforgettable holiday experience: 1. Icelandic Christmas Buffet The Christmas season in Iceland is rich with culinary traditions, and the local buffet is a must-try. It's not just about the food, which includes delicacies like hangikjöt (smoked lamb) and laufabrauð (leaf bread), but also about the experience of sharing these traditional dishes in a festive atmosphere.It's a perfect way to immerse yourself in Icelandic culture. One of my favorite things is that there are regular Christmas buffets and all vegan ones. I had the pleasure of going to an all vegan one at Plantan Kaffihús, a vegan cafe in the city, and it was phenomenal.I have also been to ones that are mixed, like at Hotel Borg. If you plan to experience an Icelandic Christmas buffet, make sure to show up hungry and open to trying types of cuisine that you might not ordinarily come across. 2. A Reykjavik Christmas Walking Tour This guided tour by Your Friend in Reykjavik is a fantastic way to explore the city's Christmas spirit. It offers a blend of history, culture, folklore, and holiday cheer, providing insights into how Icelanders celebrate Christmas. The walk around Reykjavík's beautifully decorated streets, filled with stories and local lore, is an intimate way to experience the city's festive heart.If you use my code ALLTHINGSICELAND (in all caps) you can save 10% on your Christmas Walk with Your Friend in Reykjavík. 3. Hunt for the Icelandic Yule Lads in Reykjavík The Yule Lads are a unique and quirky part of Icelandic Christmas folklore. Searching for their projections on downtown buildings turns the city into a playful and magical scavenger hunt. It's a fun, family-friendly activity.On Reykjavik city's website, they announced fun prizes that they are giving away for those who participate in the scavenger hunt. I have a link to that in the description of this episode on my website.In December of 2021, I shared the Yule Lads poem on my podcast in Icelandic and English for each of the 13 days that they each come to town. I started on that day to introduce their troll mother Grýla and other members of their family, like the Yule Cat. 4. Ice Skating at Ingólfstorg Square Located in the heart of Reykjavík, ice skating here is not just an activity; it's an experience. Surrounded by the city's festive lights and lively atmosphere, it's a picturesque way to enjoy the Icelandic winter.Usually, there are Icelandic santas, or Yule Lads, hanging out on the ice and playing with the kids. One warning that I think is worth mentioning is that the ice-skating rink here is not smooth.It is a bit bumpy for a rink, so please be aware that can be harder to smoothly skate and easy to potentially fall. I am not sure why they are not able to make it smooth, especially since the ice-skating rink in Hafnarfjörður's Christmas market is very smooth. I love to ice skate, so I had a blast doing it but I had to catch myself from falling a few times. Just a heads up for those that want to try it. 5. Visiting Icelandic Christmas Markets: The Icelandic Christmas Markets in the Reykjavík area include  Ingólfstorg, Heiðmörk, Hjartatorg, and the Hafnarfjörður Christmas Village. They offer a cozy, cheerful atmosphere where you can find everything from uniq...
