23 days….
Christmas is my favorite holiday but sometimes it can be hard for me to get into the spirit. Hoping this book will help.
And finally putting up my tree 🎄

More Christmas movies/tv shows enjoyed! I have finally given in to my husband and son saying Die Hard is a Christmas movie 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️. #wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs
Nearly forgot I checked this out from the library to read today! Seemed like a good (and short) book to read — I didn‘t even realize there WAS a book version of this story. 🎅🎁 Happy Holidays everyone!

🎄🎄🎄 This was a perfect little Christmas read to wind down with after a busy day of baking. If you enjoy the movie you‘ll enjoy the book as the book is based on the movie written by screenwriter Valentine Davies. I wrongly assumed it was the other way around.
Tonight‘s #holidayshow is a local theater performance of Miracle on 34th Street! #wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs @StayCurious @Clwojick

Every year I try to read a Christmas classic. Last year was The Nutcracker and this year I hope to get to Miracle on 34th.
‘Tis the season…

Happy Holidays Littens! In whatever way you celebrate or don‘t, wishing you a peaceful, joy-filled day.💙
Watched the original for the first time on Disney Plus. Just as enjoyable as the remake, though perhaps not quite as dynamic. Stay warm friends! We are in the midst of a 60 degree temp drop tonight in WI! #merryreaders #wintergames
Watched this movie today! #merryreaders #wintergames @Clwojick 🎄🎅🏼😁

Let the Christmas season begin! Miracle on 34th Street on Thanksgiving evening! 😊🎄🎶🦃🎈
pickFinally posting a much-belated review of this classic—getting back on Litsy after the holiday rush! This was a lovely holiday read—basically a retelling of the movie. I‘d hoped for a little “more” than the movie, perhaps a deeper look into Doris or Fred, but I enjoyed the simple, sweet, heartwarming story. I‘m glad the #ibelieveibelieve buddy read got me to pull it out of the Christmas books & read it this year (unlike the other book pictured!)
Finally watched Miracle with my teens. #wintergames #teamfestivus @wanderinglynn the comments- they could not believe Susan was allowed near Mr Galey- let alone in his apt before the mom even met him. The entire movie was one of teens explaining proper parent roles to me. I am exhausted from movie watching- and still hope to see Little Women and Star Wars before they leave the theatre- but then I will have met my movie quota for 2019 and 2029.
It's raining out here at Casa Tubac, I've had breakfast, and now I'm in a comfy chair in front of the fire. Don't be surprised if I fall asleep.
Watched this classic today! 😊🎄🎥 #holidaymovies #booktomovie #wintergames #tmskellington @Crimson613 @Clwojick @StayCurious
#WinterGames #MerryReaders #HolidayRead This is one of my favorites.
We‘re watching the 1994 version of Miracle on 34th Street. This one‘s my favorite. 🤗

I finished this a few days ago and enjoyed it. Now I want to watch the old movie. 😊🎄 #IbelieveIbelieve
pickIt took me a bit but I ending up enjoying this mid-century American Christmas fairy tale, in part because it spoke so much of its time when one could believe in both Santa Claus and the goodness capitalism. (My own faith in one of those things faltered awhile ago 🤨) But who can resist a good court case defending St. Nick?!
Thanks to everyone who read along with me! #ibelieveibelieve 🎄🎅⭐
pickGood times with this buddy read! I remembered the remake movie, while just seeing the original this year for the first time! 🙂 I wondered a bit (after the movie) if some parts summarized by, but all was well done, within my shorter time through the winter work and shopping days. I enjoyed it!

I hadn't heard of "sob-sisters" before so I looked it up. Term for women journalists who cover trials.
Yes Santa, I am still reading this book! Reading time is scarce these days!

pickHi I LOVED this. I normally don‘t like the film (it feels forced?) but this novelization was perfect and helped infuse me with some much needed Christmas spirit. #ibelieveibelieve #wintergames #teamfozziwig #holidayread

After a busy weekend, I‘m catching a few moments tonight between work and my EfM group at church, to get a quick start on this one for the #ibelieveibelieve buddy read! My copy is the 1947 edition—I love old books with inscriptions from previous owners!
Started my buddy read at karate class this evening. Seems appropriate as, on the way here, my 8 year-old informed me he believes in Santa but NOT elves or reindeer. Sounds like a smart insurance policy. 😏

I'm starting in with the Miracle on 34th Street buddy read. I'll have this coming week mostly home, on easy reading time. 🤓 Today at the lakeside restaurant (I'm with kitchen staff) they'll have Santa in for the kids, with our bakery cook's best gingerbread cookies!

Repost for @merelybookish :
We've seen the movie! Let's read the book it's based on! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
This is a casual buddy read. That means there's no set schedule or discussion questions. I've selected Dec 15 as the kick-off date, but start earlier or later, it's up to you!
Use the hashtag #IbelieveIbelieve for your posts! And tag me if you want!
pickThank you for suggesting this for the #xmasbuddyread @merelybookish 🤗 — I devoured this in one sitting! The 1994 version is one of my favorite Christmas movies and I also love the original. This sticks closer to the original (and was actually written AFTER the 1947 version came out). If you enjoy the movie(s), you can‘t go wrong reading this. It gives me the warm fuzzies. 🥰 5⭐️

I‘ve somehow never seen this movie OR read the book before (even though I found this pretty little 1947 edition YEARS ago). I started it last night, @merelybookish ! 👍🏻 #IBelieveIBelieve read-along

Day 12
#WinterGames #MerryReaders I haven‘t watched this in years. I think I prefer it in black and white.
I managed to get Miracle on 34th Street in at the library, for the #IbelieveIbelieve buddy read, starting next week by Dec 15.
Thanks Jenny @jenniferw88 for the beautiful winter scene card! 🙂❄️

This is one of the books I got from the library. While I liked the movie, I loved the book. It has been a while since I read the book and I had forgotten some of the details. Reading the book, you would never know the movie was first. Still a great feel good story. Timeless! 5 ⭐
My afternoon started with the book which is a movie to book adaptation and then watched the black and white version of the movie. It‘s a favorite. I also listened to Christmas Carol and read Jacob T Marley.
