Today is Bolludagur in Iceland.
“Bolla, bolla, bolla,” is the wakeup call for parents on the morning of Bolludagur, or “Bun Day,” followed by encouraging spanks. Their kids have spent hours and hours decorating their Bun Day paddles at school.
According to tradition, they will get one cream-filled bun on Bun Day for every time they manage to spank their parents with their paddles.
Bun Day is followed by Sprengidagur. It means “Bursting Day” and the motto is to eat salted meat and bean stew until you burst.
Then comes Öskudagur, when children dress up in fancy costumes and sing for candy in stores and companies across Iceland.
