Reminder I‘ll be around all day Christmas, posting non Christmas non holiday things (all day EST).
However if you need someone to talk or commiserate with just use the hashtag I‘ll find ya & several other peeps will be around as well. We have a good time and I look forward to it every year!!
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

#TeamReindeerGamers i watched our team movie last night. It was too crazy 🤪 and ridiculous. Had some laughs #WinterGames. Now I can say I watched it. @StayCurious @Clwojick @annahenke @kezzlou85 @Karons1 @TorieStorieS @MatchlessMarie @aperfectmjk @Bluebird @JessClark78
so-soI‘m a bit behind and backwards on my posting for #WinterGames. I haven‘t even posted my November wrap up yet 🫣 Skipping Christmas was my 2nd book of December and I watched the #ReindeerGamers team movie tonight. I think this was one of the cases where the movie was better but it was just ok. Go away Blair! Jk kinda 😂
panI chose to read this one because I've been wanting to skip Xmas myself. This reads like it was written in the 80s, complete with the stereotypical male author writing women and it was icky all the way through.
Watching the team movie for #ReindeerGamers #WinterGames. Its also a perfect prompt for day 17 of #DecemberDreams @LiseWorks @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
December 17 #DecemberDreams Movie Time I have yet to watch my #WinterGames Team movie. It's taped and ready to go. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
Last night I watched Christmas with the Kranks (based on the tagged book) and this morning I watched A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Ok @MatchlessMarie you are #snowedin I picked the first two because I loved them and the rest because the title sounds fun 🤣 enjoy! ❄️
This is a fun, quick read. I want to watch Christmas with the Kranks, which is based on this book…and skipping Christmas sounds delightful some days. 😉
#WinterGames #ReindeerGamers I have decided on the #TeamMovie I have never seen this one so, I believe it's time as I noticed it on AMC and will tape it for future watching @annahenke @kezzlou85 @JessClark78 @Karons1 @TorieStorieS @MatchlessMarie @aperfectmjk @Clwojick @StayCurious
panThis book is kind of like an extended twisty version of the gifts of the magi. It was way frustrating to get through and took me way to long to listen to it all. Partly because the narrator was super slow, even after 1.25 speed.
I read this one every year! Luther is a major jerk in the book lol he‘s easier to like in the movie.
Little work break
pickThe best way to kick off the Christmas season. I love the book. I love the movie. It makes me laugh and brings me so much joy. #winterreadathon #19822022 #2001
pickNot my typical book, but this was chosen for IRL club as “Christmas in July”. Didn‘t know at first that the movie Christmas with the Kranks is based on this & will watch it during the season. A funny story about a couple who decides to take a cruise instead of doing Christmas. They mystify & anger their neighbors & friends. A twist at the end changes their mind. I‘m very glad my neighbors don‘t expect me to put a giant Frosty on the roof!
so-soI liked the movie better!! There were some things throughout the book that I didn‘t like.

I‘ve seen the movie but never read the book. The bookmark was a gift from my son and his girlfriend.

pickSaw some posts stating that this was the book behind Christmas with the Kranks movie (thank you @aperfectmjk @fantasychick @Kelly_The_Bookish_Sidekick @jdiehr @magpiegem @AmyK1 ) - I think the movie is cute and the book was too - I enjoyed it.

An annual/biennial re-listen. The crotchety negativity is part of the joke, but I wasn‘t quite as entertained by it this year. Too much real life negativity out there right now!

pickBook 33- 2021: This was a fun fast read that made me chuckle a lots of times. The film is actually pretty faithful to the book and now I‘ve read it I will watch it 😊 (for the 1000th time). #WGwordsearch 2060pts #wintergames2021 #teamgesleighers
pickI picked this up last week at the library book sale. Had no idea that this was the book that Christmas With The Kranks was based on 😄
Cute ✔
Short ✔
Seasonal ✔
The people in my library cafe are probably wondering what on earth I‘m doing but this book has way too many #wgwordsearch words to count in my head!! #wintergames2021 #teamgamesleighers
pickI've seen the movie a million times so it was about time I read the book 🤣 It was as expected. Nice, quick holiday read.

Festive Flick # 25: Christmas with the Kranks
It's not the holiday season in my home until my guy defends 99.5% of Luther Krank's actions and rags on all the townsfolk for being completely ridiculous.
I still have books to review here, but this concludes my 2020 Festive Flicks.

I did it! My library is probably like this lady has a Christmas movie problem 😂 I only ended up having to rent one from Amazon so I‘m feeling pretty good about that. And I watched some not on here! ❤️ #readnosedreindeer #wintergames2020 @StayCurious
pickThis wasn‘t anything amazing, but it was a fun audiobook to listen to as I worked on making bread and a few other last minute Christmas preparations for this year‘s scaled down festivities.
