#wintergames #TeamNutcracker #holidaytradition Meet Pete! This little guy has been coming with Santa on St. Nicks eve for many years, before it was a “thing”. We have had some fun with Pete but my kids, 14 and 19, are beyond toilet papering the tree - this year he‘s providing a silly or sarcastic quote each day on the mirror for a little fun holiday spirit. Dude is a lot of work so I‘m glad to have him kick back and be a smarty pants this year. 😂

I attended a small plate Old English dinner tonight with my mom and saw a rendition of The Christmas Carol put on in my local community theater. They served us in character. It was fabulous! #wintergames #TeamNutcracker and where does this fit a play made from a book? I hope it becomes a #holidaytradition

#holidaytradition #TeamNutcracker #wintergames Kevin makes me a little nervous as he climbed the tree last year, his 1st Christmas. He seems to have taken the high road this year, so I can once again enjoy the tree. We even put ornaments up, only 3-4 are down daily 😂 It was not Christmas when I was without a kitty under my tree. It was a chosen spot for my late buddies , Ernest and Jasper, for 23 years so this is nostalgic for me.🎄

Next up! Thank you @JenReadsAlot #WinterGames #TramNutcracker

#teamNutcracker #wintergames #impulseread Finished a holiday read. I‘m not a whodunit girl but it was cleverly tied up in the end. It was not holidayish though, just murder 😂 This was not on the TBR, I saw Christmas and was sold.

About 1/2 way through, I‘m not sure I‘m a whodunit reader but I‘m going to keep on for a bit in the spirit of a Christmas murder. #WinterGames #TeamNutcracker. I think this is participation points for now.

Where would I go for Christmas? My quick answer is Disney World, my happy place. But any beach would do as well. #wintergames #TeamNutcracker

#winter games #TeamNutcracker 90 points for me🎄

I ❤️ Rudolph. I can‘t believe how awful the other reindeer are, his parents and even Santa is a jerk. WTH? 🤨 I think I cried a lot during these as a soft hearted child. 🤷🏼‍♀️. #TeamNutcracker #wintergames #holidaymovie

Hey @JenReadsAlot - may I call you Tinsel McBlizzard until Christmas?

Bingo! On the Hallmark movie Christmas Town ...end of a “7 days of Premieres”, I‘ve been warming up😂do I need to have the watching of the movie as a separate post? I‘m loving this, thank you!

Why I loved this book “the son of the fortune teller rows a boat across an ocean made of paper”. Of course he did, only in the fairy tale magic of Morgenstern. I did not understand it all but the delightful details helped me conjure rich visuals, I felt like I was there. I will read this again (or listen perhaps?) when I have more headroom, as in not before the holidays. 🐝 🗡 🔑

First post for me on #TeamNutcracker for the #Wintergames... @Bookworm54 @Clwojick @StayCurious 1. I have read 66 books so far. 2. My goal is 70, so I should make it 3. I like to read holiday fluff leading up to Christmas and a yearly re-read of Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen 4. Winter...it‘s generally not my favorite but I do enjoy looking at holiday lights on my walks with my dog and more self care this time of year. ❤️🌲

To finish or not to finish...that is the question. I‘m not sure this time of year, when my mind is racing with a “to do” list, is right for me and this book. 🤔

5k in the can - Will 🏃‍♀️ for 🦃

Wrapped this up before continuing the Hallmark Holiday Odyssey. This book was so crazy that of course it has to be nonfiction. What a fun #buddyread Thanks @Cinfhen and @vivastory for the inspiration. #NFNov

@MaleficentBookDragon is hosting a sweet little swap. A book and chocolate to be opened 12-24 when you crawl into bed to read and eat your sweet. This is what my heaven will look like, by the way. ❤️ 📚 🛌 #jolabokaflodswap

@vivastory @Cinfhen See what I did here? Rented the book from the library only to find it in a box of my stored books. 😂😂 too many books #MidnightParty #buddyread

Today‘s drive, I love her voice. #nonfictionnovember

Oh yes it was...

Deep into Hallmark Channel Christmas...

Hoping to sneak in some reading at lunch today for #NonFictionNovember - Thanks @Cinfhen and @vivastory for the recommendation.

After a crap day at work came home to a book from a Goodreads giveaway! 🙌🏻

I‘m full IN to trying to embrace the holidays this year, really trying to invest in the spiritual piece, that combined with sweet reads and some feel good movies - really ought to do the trick! 🎄 recommendations welcome please!

@Sace Congratulations on your milestone! I might be too late for #giveawaykerfuffle but the word bozo makes me laugh, I can hardly say it without peeing my pants😂 🤡

Current read. Wish it was lunchtime now.

As long as I keep one hand on Leo I‘m allowed to read.😂❤️🐶

Whirlwind trip to Disney for the Halloween party for our anniversary, now 5 days of staycation...

“I was serious about getting help for my ridiculousness.” Funny listen so far. I have been getting into Enneagrams lately and stumbled on to an episode of her podcast all about them so it was serendipitous.

New kindle to take on vacation, they got me at “Waterproof” and “trade in”. 🤷🏼‍♀️ There‘s a sucker born every minute.

Flagging a bit in the middle...

Library run! New book excitement!!

Under desk lunch reading. So far very curious yet dysfunctional.

Waiting for IT Chapter 2 to start with my daughters...and this was the photo I get. 🤡

It‘s an Amazon deal today! I have not read it but it seems to be everywhere, so I grabbed it for a good price.

About a local murder that went unsolved for 30 years, the suspect turned out to be a bit of a serial killer. A lot of local bits and I know the detective that cracked it, so that‘s curious.

Tired this little sweetie pie out on a good walk and now enjoying some quiet time.

“Life offers you these moments of joy despite everything” #truestory

Dentist reading. Waiting on a crown 👸 ugh.

Enjoying some afternoon outside reading with my new friend, Leo.

My history nerd self = mind blown. 😂❤️

Current situation.

A welcome break in a busy day. I ❤️ the library.

I ❤️ water.
