Another holiday #bucketlist item done today. Had a classic holiday movie marathon - How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Miracle on 34th Street, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and The Santa Clause!

#wintergames #holidaymovie #candycanecrushers

I love the original cartoon and watch it every year, but haven't read the book since I was a kid! #wintergames @StayCurious #teamwreathitandweep

#WinterGames The Boyfriend and I watched this for the first time since it's the #CandyCaneCrushers team movie. I've only ever seen the original cartoon. I'm not sure anything will be able to beat my childhood favorite, but this one is a close second. We'll definitely be watching it again next year!

Getting in some Christmas watching wherever and whenever I can! #wintergames #SantasBookshELVES

1️⃣ Either a “holiday” black tea or hot cocoa w/ peppermint schnapps &/or peppermint whipped cream❤️

2️⃣ Whatever song was in the Christmas movie/special I just watched or Welcome Christmas from the Grinch🎄

3️⃣ Blankets on the couch-either under or on top depending on the temp, socks, flannel pj bottoms, a candle, a good book & my Spotify Mellow Holiday playlist or streaming holiday music with a crackling fire on tv.🕯️❤️

Have you played yet?

My Max ornament!

Yesterday, me and my youngest went to a production of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I love all things Grinch, and this was so great and lots of fun! We had front row seats!

5✨Classic! What is not to love about a grumpy Grinch who hates the commercialism of Christmas. He discovers that Christmas is more than all of that. Heartwarming and a great seasonal reminder and my kiddos love to hear read. #GingerbreadGems #WinterGames

Introducing my toddler to The Grinch.

Watched how the grinch stole christmas the other day. Forgot to post about it. Points 5+1. #hollyjollyreaders #wintergames

Finished my first holiday diamond painting! #wintergames #teamwreathitandweep @StayCurious

We wanted Jim Carrey‘s Grinch, the 3 year old wanted “his grinch” so we compromised and watched his.
Here‘s today‘s complete haul. #dailyphotochallenge #snow #DecemberDreams #ornamentchallenge #reflection #RestingGrinchFace #wintergames

#WinterGames #HolidayLaughs #CandyCaneCrushers

I love this character, and I live the book more than the movie because I always feel so bad for the dog Max. In the book, it doesn't show us his way back with all the stuff up that crazy mountain. I got more Bingos. @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks @PuddleJumper @AnnR and Readathons @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES #WinterGames #TeamReindeerGamers

My completed painting! I love it 😍 🎄

Some #redcover books I have on my Libby hold list let‘s hope they get to me quickly 😆 I have been busy today so now I‘m catching up with first day #wintergames fun team #snowflakesquad

1. How the Grinch Stole Christmas- the original cartoon!
2. Elf
3. Oh Holy Night - some versions get me all emotional
Thanks @Kshakal @dabbe #TLT

1) I don‘t really have any special holiday traditions unless drinking eggnog counts?

2) Games, new books to add to my TBR, and watching holiday cartoons

3) My kindle, comfy reading chair, dog, and snacks 😊

1. I also love Jolobokaflod, though I‘ll have to miss it this year.
2. I love the word searches and seeing what other people are reading. Just today, I learned that Janice Hallett has a Christmas novella out that I‘ m excited about.
3. Cold outside, warm inside with blankets and hot tea or coffee.
@Julsmarshall @Airykah13 @tdrosebud @Katiekat311 @Bookworm54 @Sarahreadstoomuch @coueriamb

Hey team! Here‘s a bit about me:
1. I love taking part in #jolabokaflod, the Icelandic tradition of reading a book and eating chocolate on Christmas eve.
2. Sharing reading, games, and holiday movie shenanigans with my #litsy friends!
3. Cold weather outside, cuddled up in a fuzzy blanket, with my dogs and a great book. Or, on a warmer day, walking outside while listening to an audiobook.

Cleaning out the basement we found these gems. Daddy couldn‘t part with them.

Merry Grinchmas! 🎄

And this is to the ones of you that don't enjoy Christmas. My little Caragh sends you a big "I feel you" hug ❤️

Remember, New Year is just around the corner! Stay strong!

Feeling very grinchy tonight. My neighbor has been blaring their music ALL night and is RUINING #jolabokaflod.
It‘s not even Christmas music. It‘s like hotel cocktail lounge Muzak that was never intended to be played at full volume and makes me feel like I should be eating canapés in a puffy-sleeved LBD. ?

Started my day with the Grinch and coffee and have transitioned to the Grinch and wine! Merry Christmas Eve! #holidayfriends @Andrew65 @TheBookHippie

Snuggled up with April and watching the cartoon How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The college I work at decided to close tomorrow because of the storm (it‘s definitely snowing!), so my winter break begins a day early! An extra day to sleep, snuggle, and read sounds like a good gift to me 💤 🐈‍⬛ 📚

#catsoflitsy

1. As a child we always went to see my Great Grandmother in late afternoon and Santa always came when we were gone. We always got new PJ‘s that we could open right away and then we had to wait until after dinner to open the rest. Now as an adult we all spend time at my sister‘s/Mom‘s and play games and the grandkids open gifts.

2. Meal changes all the time..this year it‘s lasagna on Christmas Eve and turkey dinner on Christmas Day!

1. My immediate family (bro‘s fam, parents, man cub and me) do our Christmas stuff. We‘ve done that since I was young because we usually had to travel to my grandparent‘s house across state and instead of bringing all the gifts there and then back we just did stuff before we left (mom usually had to work at least part of the day if it fell during the work week).

Finished my first holiday diamond painting!

“Which was something the Grinch couldn‘t stand in the least!”

My all time favorite Dr. Suess book. I love the overall message in the book! It makes it great for kids and is a classic traditional story!

I loved Dr. Seuss when I was little, and this time of year I love all things Grinch! 💚

#winterreadathondailychallenge

I'm watching one of my absolute favorite Christmas movies today. Jim Carrey is my favorite Grinch.

#WinterReadathon

Started decorating the house for Christmas today so I thought it was appropriate to watch this tonight!

#FestivePhotoChallenge Day 15: Festive Read. My two year old is SUPER into the Grinch, and we have pretty much read this to him every night for a month. Today, he plunked down in front of the tree and read the whole book to me!! I wish I could post a video to Litsy because it was the CUTEST. #wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs #selfiescavengerhunt #readingbyglowofChristmaslights
