This is not a public holiday in Iceland in any sense of the word, although here in Iceland, there have been attempts to establish the tradition, mainly by pub owners and alcohol importers. The articles cited are from travel guides written by those people. Eggertm (talk) 08:51, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
