\u00deorrinn starts between 19th \u2013 26th January every year. \u00deorrinn is a period of time with a few different days and traditions. First day of \u00deorrinn is called B\u00f3ndadagur which has been known since the middle of the 19th century. \u00a0\u00deorrinn ends on a Saturday which is called \u00deorra\u00fer\u00e6ll.\u200b It is a tradition in each town in Iceland to do a show that is about the people in the town and it is called \u00deorrabl\u00f3t. People in the \u00deorrabl\u00f3t usually eat food which is called \u00feorramatur or \u00feorrafood but the food is very interesting, we have pickled ram balls, sheep heads, sour shark meat and sl\u00e1tur which is mixed sheep intestens, blood and fat.<\/p>\n

B\u00f3ndadagur is one of the days in \u00deorrinn where the housewife welcomes the \u00deorri, the night before. The housewife’s took care of their husbands for an example, made them good food and took care of them and the household. It has also always been a tradition in B\u00f3ndadagur where men would run around their town with few to\u00a0 no clothes on.<\/p>\n

Sprengidagur is on some day beetween 3rd of february to the 9th of mars. In the old days the farm workers had to eat as much as they could of salted meat and bean soup on sprengidagur because they wouldn\u00b4t get anything else to eat until easter. Bolludagur is 7 weeks before easter so they had to fill their gut until then.<\/p>\n

Bolludagur people eat buns (or bollur) with whipped cream, jam, chocolate, caramel and many more things. \u200bPeople made a bouquet and hit each other with the bouquet on the bum. Especially kids, but some older folks still have the humor. Sprengidagur, bolludagur an \u00f6skudagur are all part of langafasta or longfasting. Langafasta begins on Ash Wednesday, Wednesday of the 7th week before Easter.<\/p>\n

\u00c6ttarm\u00f3t is a very large family gathering. People meet their relatives and play games and get to know each other. Usually the family or kin decide to meet every two years, less or more.<\/p>\n

In Iceland we have 13 santa clauses or exactly translated, Christmas lads. The Christmas lads have a quality, like we have one Christmas lad called hur\u00f0askellir or doorslammer. The Christmas lads have a mom called Gr\u00fdla who is very scary and parents told their kids that if they wouldn\u00b4t be nice on christmas Gr\u00fdla would come to town and take them. Gr\u00fdla has a husband called leppal\u00fa\u00f0i which is translated exactly to eyepad looser.\u00a0 There is also a Christmas cat and his purpose was to eat kids that didn\u00b4t get new Christmas clothes.<\/p>\n

All of the highschool graduates get together in costumes and spent all day together in teams were they play pranks and score games. Then they end the day with partying.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>FAS was established in 1987 and had their housing in Nesjahverfi which is about 7 minutes from H\u00f6fn where we live. But the school moved from Nesin to central town H\u00f6fn in 2002. The house is called N\u00fdheimar and it has a library, some offices and our classrooms. We also have a study earia. In FAS we have 7 phases that you can choose from. One of those Phases is mountain eering class where people learn everything about mountains and nature from rock climbing to glacier walking. We are the only secondary school with this option of studies.<\/p>\n
