I haven‘t been able to participate in #wintergames as much as I hoped so far, but here is my points total for the first two weeks for team #ChristmasChapterChasers :
3,515
I know I‘m posting late, so if my points can‘t be counted, I completely understand! @StayCurious
I‘ve been reading the images of Tolkien‘s handwritten letters alongside the printed text, and several times have discovered that the printed text makes minor changes or omits parts of the original letters! In today‘s letter, there‘s a whole paragraph about Priscilla‘s “Bingos” that is missing from the printed text. So interesting to see the editorial decisions! #TolkienChristmas #FellowshipofTolkien
Apologies to my fellow Tolkien readers. I‘m teaching new classes this year and we‘ve got one more week to wrap up the semester. I‘ve got little time for print reading until this week is over, and I haven‘t even kept up on this short daily read. I hope to catch up once school‘s out Friday, but don‘t expect any posts before then. I hope you‘re enjoying, and I would still love to see your posts this week.

Finished my my cards for the #holidaycardswap #litsyholidaycardswap. I‘ll be dropping them in the mail tomorrow with the rest of my Christmas cards 🙂
I've started reading The Silmarillion. And by reading, I mean listen on libro.fm because Andy Serkis has a great voice. But since I also have the paperback, I can switch back and forth when I want as well. The cake is tiramisu paired with vanilla tea.

Read three years today and caught up on Letters from Father Christmas.
Both the story and the drawings are so lovely.
Every time l read them l imagine how magical it must have been for Tolkien's children to keep this correspondence with Father Christmas 🥰
Enjoying more of my holiday reads by the tree with a cup of tea while I wait for laundry to finish drying. I wish I had discovered Tolkien‘s collection of letters to his children sooner (I discovered it only last year). Such a whimsical, wonderful way he made their Christmas‘ more magical, I‘m sure. And it seems he didn‘t let up once they got older either lol.
My little one woke up sick today 😪 so staying home instead of running errands. Hoping she feels better by her birthday on Tuesday.
While I'm tending her, catching up on my #TolkienChristmas readalong, and other Christmas reads.

Catching up on Letters from Father Christmas this morning with breakfast and laughing about the “Rory Bory Aylis fireworks” and the North Polar Bear‘s antics!

Even in his children's stories Tolkien uses such poetic imagery.
