I loathe how stressful this time of year has become. It shouldn't be. Why can't we just semi-hiberbate?

Every Christmas morning as far back as I can recall, my folks would put the 1966 version of The Grinch on the TV while we were waiting for the family to arrive. It wasn't Christmas quite yet without having watched this delightful classic.

There was a cupcake decorating program the other day at the library, and we were lucky enough to get all the extras! 🤤🧁 They were almost too pretty to eat! Well, ALMOST! 🤭
What. A. Long. Day.
The library took part in our town‘s Holiday Festival today. I led two “Ring-a-Ling Read-Aloud” storytimes (with a jingle bell jam sesh at each) and then stayed after the library closed (upon request) to do an interactive read-aloud of The Night Before Christmas (which I 100% kept calling The Nightmare Before Christmas 💀), prior to other staff reading A Christmas Carol. There were scavenger hunts & spiced cider. I‘m knackered!

This holiday special first appeared the same year I was born. I have loved PEANUTS most of my life, and I feel a strong connection to this story. ♥️🎄💚
Small and trembling tree,
bare branches brave winter winds––
love makes you shine bright.
The English teacher in me wanted to end with “brightly“, but somehow, I like “bright“ better--even if it's gramatically incorrect. 🤣
I spotted a menorah on the cover and grabbed this for #ISpyBingo, not noticing at the time what an unusual menorah it is. This is a delightful multicultural story about a girl visiting her aunt Luisa, who comes from Mexico. Isobel not only learns some new Sephardic Hanukkah customs, but also about her aunt's creativity and love for animals and nature. I would have loved to read this to my kid when she was little.
