Now that Thanksgiving is over, I‘m ready for holiday reading! I welcomed the holiday season today with my first Christmas book of the year, hot chocolate in a seasonal cup, my decorations (only a little tree so my cats can‘t destroy it) and carols on in the background. I really love Leslie Odom Jr.‘s holiday albums.
I caught my dog trying to get to this package when I had it on the bookshelf. There must be something good inside! Can‘t wait to open it on Christmas Eve! #Jolabokaflodswap23
Two swaps shipped to my matches today❄️🎄❤️🎁

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to #LitsyLand!
Wishing all of you health and happiness, and books, of course. 🎄🎁📚
Happy Holidays, everyone!! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday in whatever way you‘re able to celebrate!
Happy Jólabókaflóð, @Graciouswarriorprincess! I‘m sorry you won‘t get your package from me by today as there is still absolutely no movement according to the tracking. ? I‘m giving it until the end of the month and then I‘ll be sending a replacement (whether you like it or not! ?). I hope you have a wonderful and amazing holiday! ?
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Holidays for all those celebrating, Littens!
I have a lot going on and couldn‘t settle in with this till now. Definitely required some extra brain power for a Sunday night! #WinterGames #SlayBells @midnightbookgirl
• #TeamFestivus members: I'm on the road right now and have to watch my battery -- but I'll be responding to your awesome WYR posts today. Thanks for tagging me directly in each one. I'll add up this weekend's points and report to @wanderinglynn by this evening 😊🎄☃️❄️ •
• A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has participated in our humble holiday games here on Litsy. We are halfway through the month already and I hate to think about the #WinterGames being over 🙁 I am trying to read everyone's WYR answers on my posts and respond to each and every one!! If I've tagged you with an emoji response, thanks again for your participation!! (Sorry if I get a little carried away with them) #TeamFestivus & others...you ROCK! •

• Y'all, I'm so excited that I finally finished my holiday cards for #WinterGames tonight. They're going with me to the post office tomorrow on their journey to #TeamFestivus recipients. I hope it's not too soon to send them out! Note: there's a handwritten recipe inside each card for "Christmas Butter Fingers" (I'd say they're similar to sand tart cookies--rolled in powdered sugar ?) •

A little snippet of my reading list I‘ve created on #BorrowBox in prep for #wintergames 🎄☃️ not long now! #readnosedreindeer
I‘ve seen people posting such wonderful views of where they‘re celebrating Christmas so here‘s... the field behind my uncles house! It‘s pretty awesome actually, it‘s a gorgeous bit of the Sussex green belt with wild deer and owls! Very idyllic English scenery, very bleak and a bit Bronte-mood in this weather, and very muddy. Happy holidays to everyone!
A Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! 🌲 🎅 I hope everyone has a day filled with peace, love and joy. 💙💙💙
I‘m around all day for anyone needing to chat. We stay very low-key at our house on Christmas Day. #JoinIn
Have a wonderful whatever, Littens! You‘re some of my favorite people. I wish you happiness and many books, with lots of time to read them. 😘
