Bolludagur-Smack Some Butt and Earn a Bun
Today is “Bolludagur” or Bun Day in Iceland. We missed it on our Iceland trip, but I have it from a reliable source (Bjork Ivarsdattor, the 16 year old daughter of our Iceland home exchangers) that the tradition is that kids wake earlier than their parents and “spank” them awake–earning a chocolate éclair-like bun for every landed swat. “Oh, I don’t know how to explain it!” Bjork says. “But it is really fun. You get to smack someone in the butt and then he or she has to give you a Bollu–it’s a bread with cream and chocolate in the middle.”

Definately a very unusal and quirky tradition…. hmm… but you get rewarded for behavior that’s not really encouraged? No idea where that would lead to but for noe, I’ll say it sounds interestingly fun.
Happened to come across your blog from blog catalog, and I have to say.. interesting site you’ve got! Thanks for sharing.
