Interview

Christmas for Siggi Bjarni

What is an essential Christmas tradition?

My family and me, we usually go to nearby woodland and where we pick our Christmas tree.

Which 66°North product do you use the most?

I think my most used product is the OK down jacket. I use it a lot in my daily life and when I am going hiking.

What is your favourite place to travel to in Iceland?

My favourite place is Öræfasveit, over the years my connection has grown stronger to that place and I still have many activities to explore there. 

How will Christmas be for you this year?

I just moved to the city of Reykjavík so I will probably be staying at home, taking it easy and visiting my siblings. If the weather allows it, I will certainly go hiking.

Do you have a favourite Christmas song?

Jólasynir with Land og synir.

What is your favourite Christmas movie?

Home Alone is a classic.
