It is not only the cutest little animal, but its wool keeps us warm and its meat keeps us strong. There are about 800.000 sheep in Iceland and only about 323.000 Icelanders. This means there are more than two sheep per human on our small island.

Team Iceland Unlimited celebrated their 2nd annual „Ugly Christmas Sweater Party“ in early December. Christmas is a wonderful time of the year, but those first weeks of December can be quite stressful for many.

As we try our best to prepare everything in time, we also feel it is important to let loose every once in a while. Although Christmas is the time to care for each other, (in our case - our multicultural guests from all over the world) it is also the season to be merry! And that is exactly what our Christmas Ugly Sweater day is all about.
