Here are two Icelandic Christmas-poems. We hope you get the meaning.

When Christmas come




It is so fun when Christmas come,
though we can't see the sun on the sky.
Though winter is breathing outside,
it is warm and bright inside.
Look!, The Christmas tree with the golden top.
Make a circle around it young girls and boys!
Mother is singing, the children too
And we make a circle around the tree.





Christmas elves 1 plus 8

Christmas elves one plus eight
came down from the mountains.
The day before yesterday
when I went to bed
they found Joey on the Ground.

They met Isleifur outside
and were thinking of taking him to the trolls
but he asked the most merciless elves for reconciliation
and then the Christmas bells rang.
