My #Jolabokaflodswap is here!!! Yipee! I think I know who sent it from NC so thank you! @MaleficentBookDragon love this swap!

Booksnchill @BookNAround I saw your post saying you forgot to add card so thought I‘d check if this is from you? Just searched your return address and state🧐 5y

BookNAround Yes. It is. Card is winging its way to you now too. 😂 5y

Booksnchill @BookNAround Awesome- what‘s the weather in NC? We will have rain for Christmas I think☹️ 5y

BookNAround It‘s currently 60 and sunny. No idea what Christmas will be though since we get some crazy swings sometimes. 5y

Last day to sign up for my #JolabokaflodSwap gift exchange.
It's a very hygge swap. We will be sending out 1 book and some chocolate ( may I suggest something from your local chocolate shoppe, or a nice rich cocoa). Then we will open up the gifts on Christmas Eve and spend the night in bed reading our new books. We have over 100 sign ups!
https://goo.gl/forms/EYitE28yes6vpRim1
PS. I need at least one more person from each Australia and Malaysia.

AmyG Thank you for doing this! 5y

LazyDays Wow 100!🎉🎉 5y

Lovesbooks87 Wow that's awesome. Wasn't going to sign up but I caved this morning such a good idea! (edited) 5y

Judybskt I can‘t wait!! 📖🍫🎄🎄 5y

Endowarrior21 @MaleficentBookDragon have matches gone out yet? Seeing my email has been acting up a lot the last couple of days 5y

Alfrazier21 This sounds like so much fun. So sad I missed it! 5y

merelybookish I signed up but didn't get an email back with my answers. Does that matter? 😬 5y

MaleficentBookDragon @Endowarrior21 not yet. There were over 110 entries! Yay!!! I set UP the matches today and will send them out starting tomorrow. 5y

MaleficentBookDragon @merelybookish yes. Actually 2 came through for you, so I deleted one. 5y

Endowarrior21 @MaleficentBookDragon okay I am stocking my inbox to make sure I don‘t miss it lol 5y

MaleficentBookDragon @Alfrazier21 if you are still interested, could you fill out the form in the next hour or so? I could fit you in. 5y

Alfrazier21 @MaleficentBookDragon I am definitely still interested! I can complete the form as soon as possible. 5y

merelybookish Sorry about the double. I resubmitted in case it hadn't worked the first time. 5y

Alfrazier21 @MaleficentBookDragon I‘ve tried completing the form but it says it‘s no longer accepting responses and to contact the owner :( 5y

MaleficentBookDragon @Alfrazier21 try again if you don't mind. 5y

Alfrazier21 @MaleficentBookDragon I tried just now and received the same message 5y

MaleficentBookDragon @Alfrazier21 okay. I think i figured it out. If you are still interested, I will leave it open. 5y

Alfrazier21 @MaleficentBookDragon - THANK YOU!! You are amazing! I just submitted the form 📚❤️✨ 5y

WanderingBookaneer Thank you for organizing this! 5y

batsy Hi, I didn't get an email about a swap partner and I'm guessing it's because there aren't enough people from Malaysia? That's totally fine if that's the case; I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss out on an email :) 5y

MaleficentBookDragon @batsy no no. You are in. I'm trying to get the matches out today. 5y

For @vlwelser , who is currently visiting Iceland. What a lovely tradition! 🌟

laurieluna Banking this for when the boys are older. I am determined to turn them into bookaholics like me! 6y

vlwelser I love this! Thank you for sharing. ☺ 6y

bookloo Today I learned...I‘m Icelandic. :p 6y

MommyOfTwo My kids get a Christmas Eve box with pjs, a snack and a book😊 (edited) 6y

Jess_Read_This This has to be one of my most favorite holiday traditions. I first learned of it while reading Snowblind, which is set in Iceland, and the main character buys himself a book on Christmas Eve.

Snowblind: A Thriller

Louise @miralunasbooknook Great idea! 👍 6y

Louise @vlwelser You're welcome! 🤓 6y

Louise @bookloo I hear you! Maybe everyone on Litsy is a bit Icelandic! My family celebrates Christmas on Christmas Eve, the German way, and most of the gifts we give are books and music. So we've got this one covered! 🌲📚 6y

Louise @MommyOfTwo Love it! 🌟 6y

Louise @Jess_Read_This Isn't it great that a whole COUNTRY does this?! What a great way for kids to grow up! 6y

Jess_Read_This @Louise Oh my, yes!! I kind of want to start it with my family this Christmas Eve. 6y

Louise @Jess_Read_This Yes! Introduce a new tradition! My family basically does this anyway, since we open our gifts on Christmas Eve. It's lovely to make it a more conscious practice, though-- books, chocolate, and the whole family reading! But why wait for Christmas Eve? 😂 (edited) 6y

MommyOfTwo Oh boy, I didn‘t reread my comment before posting. It‘s fixed now 😂 6y

Louise @MommyOfTwo I love the addition of PJs into the mix! 6y

bedandabook We adopted this tradition a few years ago, and I love it! 6y

Louise @bedandabook That's marvelous! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 6y

Eggs I knew I was part Icelandic!!! 6y

Louise @Eggs Woo-HOO! Go, Iceland! 🤓📚 6y

Eggs @Louise because really what else are you going to do what with icy thing with all the ice and icy stuff 6y

Eggs And apparently the chocolate 6y

Louise @Eggs Read or make love. Those are the choices. 😂 6y

Chelleo Love this idea!! Too bad my last few Christmas Eve's have been spent assembling toys 😜 6y

Louise @Chelleo Maybe when the boys are a little older! 😆 Or settle down to read and put Keith to work on the toys! 😂 6y
