What to expect  The Christmas party?

First part of "Old Christmas"  is a get-together and prelude to a festive meal, which looks at the past in Christmas celebrations in Iceland and elsewhere in culture and food,  where the developmental history  the Icelandic Santa Clauses are woven into. Music performance at Valgeir's choice and at guests' wishes and chorus from a Christmas songbook according to my memory.

Number and facilities 

When the number of guests is under and about 30 people, the first part takes place in Bakkastofa, but when the number is larger, it is better to have it in Saga Music Hall, which is a cozy hall in the old cold store, the former Gónhóll just across the street from Bakkastofa.

When the weather is good, it is a pleasure to walk between houses, stop by Eyrarbakki Church and experience devotion and look at the Christmas tree exhibition "The House" on the way to the dinner in the Red House.

You can weave in a glitter of harmony and singing,  either in the first part of the program or during a meal.

Time factor

It is a good idea to aim for the prelude to last about an hour and a half. 
For example, if guests come to Eyrarbakki at 18:30, the dinner starts at 20+ (depending on whether there is a stop between houses, in the regional museum "Húsinu" and in Eyrarbakkakirkja accompanied by Bakkastofuhjóna.  End of program and return home  around and up from 22 - 22:30.

Activity and events

When  there are entertainment committees that have organized the arrival in Eyrarbakki  its representatives are inactive and sometimes they have prepared small events. Bakkastofa can coordinate such posts with the committees. For example  secret Christmas gifts, almond gift moments that are always appreciated, Danish-Swedish tradition that has become ingrained in many people. The almond can be placed in small porridge and does not have to be part of the table. 
Everything that cheers and promotes togetherness and good communication is a good thing.
