Thank you, Jessie for the beautiful card, the yummy chocolate, and the cheeky button badge (it says "Let's talk about texts" ?)

I hope you have a lovely Christmas and festive period with your family, friend ?? @erzascarletbookgasm

erzascarletbookgasm Enjoy the chocolate 😘 3y
erzascarletbookgasm That card with a little girl was just a random thing I picked up to shield/protect the chocolate in the package 😂. Sorry about that. (edited) 3y

🎄🎁Yes, it was last month, nothing related with books but will help me to read on Christmas day. It was a basket with sweet and salty snacks😋It is under the tree. I have learned to be patient to open gifts after so many swaps in Litsy☺️I will open the basket on Christmas Day!

🎄📚Yes! No family reunion this year. So I will be reading and eating😱😆

Thank you @Gaylagal 2 for tagging me❤️

Soubhi, it‘s here! We‘ve been busy and not checking the post office (sometimes it‘s a pain to not have a home mail delivery option), but Tony went today and your box has arrived! 🎉 I‘ve stashed these beauties away on one of my nonfiction bookcases, which is not in view while I‘m reading, so I can hold out as long as possible. 😬 I love the sloth paper, by the way. Thank you so much!

squirrelbrain Cute paper! (edited) 4y
Soubhiville Oh good! So glad it got there! 4y

I feel like I‘ve been gone for ages and it‘s only been a few days. Thought I‘d show you my haul from Christmas Day. Think I did well. Now it‘s time to get started getting ready for 2019 challenges. Other than Goodreads I am notoriously bad at challenges. I do, however, enjoy a good buddyread! On to 2019!!!

nudibranch Yes! Wind-Up Bird! Yes!! ❤ 6y

Balibee146 Yay!! Same here... I'll open mine today before the cray cray starts 😂😂 Wishing you and your family the best Christmas and a Damn Fine 2019 too 😘😘 And a great big woof to Sansa too ❄️❄️ 🎄🎄⛄🎅🌬️ 6y
TrishB @Balibee146 Sansa‘s in the dog house! Her least fav dogs walked past barking this morning and she attacked the window- which is where the tree is! Knocked tree over - broke in two, everything everywhere.....🐶 not sure what she was more frightened of - the tree falling or me yelling! 🎅🎄 6y
Balibee146 @TrishB oh no.... Cos more work fixing it at this time of year is just what you need.... Sansa must have been channelling her inner cat 🐈 xx 6y

I‘ve spent the afternoon and evening trying to get some shopping finished up. The last of my gifts for my awesome pen pals will be arriving in a couple of day, and I‘m so excited to get them shipped off! Now to alcohol with a glass of wine & watch some holiday movies... @Alicia @The_Literary_Jedi You should have surprises coming soon!!! (assuming amazon isn‘t a jerk)💚💚💚

The_Literary_Jedi Yay! In between making cookies, I‘m wrapping up yours too! 😄 6y
Erinsuereads Oh man I would kill for a glass of wine and that view right now! 6y
The_Literary_Jedi Your goodies should arrive around the 18th. There should be 3 packages 😁🎄🎄🎄 6y

NovelGirl82 @The_Literary_Jedi Yay!!! I have yours in & ready to ship. I was part of the “Texas snowpocalypse” that just hit, so I haven‘t made it to the post office since it came in. I‘ll get it sent out this week! 6y
The_Literary_Jedi I got a notice your packages should start arriving to you this weekend and over a couple days following 😁😁😁🎄🎄🎄 6y
NovelGirl82 @The_Literary_Jedi Awesome!! I‘m going to the post office tomorrow or Saturday. We‘re finally all melted off here! Lol! 6y
NovelGirl82 I made it to UPS today!!! @Alicia Your package should arrive Wednesday & @The_Literary_Jedi yours should arrive Thursday! Of course, there‘s no guarantee this close to Christmas, but fingers crossed!! 6y
Alicia Yay! Thank you so much friend!!!! @NovelGirl82 6y
NovelGirl82 @Alicia Hi friend!! I just wanted to check in with you & make sure you‘re doing ok, since I haven‘t seen anything from you in a while. I hope your holidays went well & your year is starting out well. Sending hugs from TX!! 6y

I know it's a bit early (ok, a lot early lol) but these are the books I've collected for my nephews for Christmas. I always give them a stack of books every year. Pleased with the variety this year. ❤💚

Littens, I‘m looking for a gift for an office gift exchange (limit is $20), any ideas??
Caveat is that it‘s not for someone specific, we bring a wrapped gift and those who participate get to select a gift. #help

Wife Cookie cutters, sprinkles, cookie mix and Christmas potholders?🎄 7y
laurieluna I have the above book and it amuses and interests all who read it! 7y

Rachel.Rencher I have a bunch of old men in my office, so I bought an electric beer finder. It's a beer coozy that has a remote, and when you press it the coozy burps. Definitely for a select audience. 😂🍺 7y
AlaMich I have an external battery for my cell phone. You can get them in all different powers, but I think the smallest ones would be under $20 and would be enough to “top off” your phone when you need it and can‘t get to an outlet. I LOVE mine and it‘s a lifesaver!! 7y
KrystleTheBookSlayer Sometimes I just like to put together a kind of gift basket with theme like spa day, movie night, fun and games, cozy winter theme, baking theme, etc. 7y
MamaGina Candles, everyone enjoys a lovely holiday scented candle. Also picture frames, we never seem to buy them for ourselves but we all have photos we'd like to display. 🤓 7y
SilversReviews All great suggestions. 7y
riversong153 @Wife @miralunasbooknook @Rachel.Rencher @AlaMich @Krystle1 @MamaGina Thanks for your suggestions. It‘s so hard to read the folks in my office! You‘ve given me some good ones to ponder. I have to buy before next weekend! 7y

I just purchased a book as a gift for someone who isn‘t on Litsy! I always feel nervous about choosing books for other people. Is that weird?

In other news, I briefly thought I threw my iPad in with the recycling when I cleaned out my tote bag this morning. Fortunately, it had merely slid out and underneath the seat in my car when I had to brake sharply on the commute.

Happy Friday eve, Litsy!

Kaye Oh my gosh. If I lost track of my iPad, I‘d go off the deep end. I use it almost nonstop. I‘d give away all our groceries and my tv and computer before I‘d give up my iPad. 7y
AmyG What @Kaye said. 7y
MrBook It's not weird. People themselves can be weird with what they read though, lol. Glad your iPad is safe 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻, sounds like a @BookBabe story 😆🙌🏻. 7y

GripLitGrl Not wierd at all. I've been in the same spot myself😀 but taking a risk on a book it always worth it😉 7y
megt Not weird at all! I‘m giving each member of my family a book as one of their gifts and I‘m still not sure I made the right choices. 7y
Eyelit I always feel anxious buying books for others (unless I‘ve known them forever and have a good sense of their taste) - which is why I mostly do gift cards to the local indie bookstore 😄. So glad your iPad wasn‘t lost! 7y

Thanks for tagging me, @Redjewel_7734. Took me a minute.😀

1. Holiday Spirits, including, but not limited to eggnog with a kick, peppermint schnapps, and gluehwein

2. Scarf, the longer, the better

3. It's complicated because I keep falling in love with new books.

4. Love both, but probably need to go with popcorn for my health.

5. @jdtchicago @CouronneDhiver @Booksandcooks

MaleficentBookDragon What‘s gluehwein? 7y
ptkpepe98 @MaleficentBookDragon - it is a warm German drink, literally translates to glow wine. It is a wine based cider, usually served warm, when you venture out to the Weihnachtsfest - Christmas Festival. There are non alcoholic versions available, too. Yummy to keep you warm.🍵 7y
MaleficentBookDragon @ptkpepe98 Well that sounds delightful! 7y
