Welcome to Litsy!

Feel like I'm recycling posts here, but Day 2 of #AllTheBooksDec2023 prompt is #FirstReadOfDecember

#WinterGames #HollyJollyReaders @Laughterhp

So basically, everything we thought we knew about the origins of Christmas is wrong! Packed with little nuggets of information delivered in a humorous way, this book is a great early December read. Was Good King Wenceslas based on a real person? Who invented Christmas cards (& why)? Which Christmas carol was actually written for a different holiday altogether? Find out all this & more. 4🌟

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 50

Truly delightful and hilarious. This was an excellent way to begin the season 🎄

My cat is not in a festive mood, but I am ready for the sort of irreverent take on Christmas that only Mark Forsyth can give me. This book is hilarious and well- researched.

Finishing up my Christmas Eve reading of my Short Story Advent Calendar and the biography of Santa in A Christmas Cornucopia while sitting by the fire pit in the 68 degree sunshine! About to open my Jolabokaflod package to see what I am reading this evening! My dinner- Lobster, spinach salad and dutch apple pie- I say make your own traditions!!!🥳🎄🥰

One chapter per night from now through December 26 following 7 Christmas traditions. First up- “Why 25 December?”. The countdown is on!

On Christmas cards ...

Fabulous!
