Welcome to Litsy!

I think this is probably a good read if you're overwhelmed each year by Christmas, but since the Hubs and I don't have kids and usually spend Christmas on our own or with friends, a lot of advice didn't serve me. But it did really make me think about gift giving and how I want to tackle future Christmases.

Loving all the Christmas books.

A lovely relaxing and calming read that‘s perfect for this time of year

Hygge is very much a mindset rather than a lifestyle. It's all about comfort, not just physical but also emotional and psychological comfort. Focus on what brings you comfort in life, the people you spend time with, fave activities, food & drink.
Most importantly, do what you gotta do to take care of yourself. Own your mood and embrace it for what it is x

My last lists for 2022. 😍❄️🥂🎄 I've drawn up 3, as I'm planning on lots of mood reading for the #midwintersolace and #winterreadathon events.
List 1 - Anthologies for all those busy days
List 2 - Fiction to bring warmth, comfort and joy
* List 3 - Non-fiction to keep the brain ticking over and curiosity

I've included all remaining challenge books to round up 2022

A delightful book filled with musings, suggestions, love and light for the holiday season. I picked up a few great ideas to make the season less harried and more meaningful. #wintergames #mistletoemaniacs @Clwojick @StayCurious

I enjoyed the parts that celebrated and romanticised Christmas and winter. Beth Kempton is great at describing simple things in beautiful ways.

I less liked the ‘self help‘ parts which came across quite privileged and ‘just be less stressed‘. As a person with chronic pain, being told that enjoying Christmas will be easier for me if I journal and do yoga every morning doesn‘t help a lot when my condition makes those specific things very painful.

🌲All this snow has me with Christmas on the brain. One of my favorite bookstagrammers has Calm Christmas in her pile of TBR. Once I read the premise, loving the idea of daily readings from late November thru January, I immediately bought a copy. Who doesn‘t love the notion of a calm Christmas or calm season in life for those that celebrate differently or not at all?

Anyone else reading this during the holiday season?
