Christmas Village at Hafnarfjörður
Free
Hafnarfjörður, 20 minutes outside of Reykjavík
Every weekend from 13:00 - 18:00 until December 25
Now into its 10th year Hafnarfjörður’s much-loved Christmas
village is open for the festive season, and will be open
every weekend until Christmas from 13:00-18:00 through
November and then staying open until 22:00 each weekend
in December. Attractions for the kids, or for those young
at heart, include miniature Christmas houses, as well as
plenty of arty and crafty gift ideas. And if you’re less into the
gift-giving side of Christmas and more into the food-eating
side, don’t despair there’ll be delicious refreshments like
hot cocoa, cookies and waffles. Everyone should be able to
find something to their liking to celebrate the festive season
with. TLM

Pascal Pinon
2000 ISK
Fríkirkjan, Capital Area 21 :00
Ridiculously adorable twin sister duo Pascal Pinon will
perform songs from their latest album, ´Twosomeness.´If
that doesn't scream twee to you, I don't know what will!
The album has a little something for everyone, featuring
songs sung in English, Icelandic and Swedish. The sisters,
Jófríði and Ásthildi Ákadætrum, worked closely with
Alex Somers, who has previously worked on albums with
Sin Fang, Úlfi, Jónsi and Sigur Rós. The duo released
their first album when they were 14, and although the
sisters have grown up with traditional songwriting and
composition, ´Twosomeness´ still retains the charm and
nostalgic quality the band is known for. KO

broke records earlier this year in September when it was
released for digital presale. Moses Hightower, formed in
2007, began receiving national attention for their warm, bluesy
album, ‘Búum til börn’ (Let’s Make Babies). In 2010, the album
