Welcome to Litsy!

Guys I‘m gonna participate in a Christmas swap!! It really sounds like fun and I know I could really use something sweet to look forward to (as I‘m sure many could right now). Sign ups for the #LittleChristmasSwap are open until 11/22. Go to @bookish_wookish for more information!

Merry Christmas! We had our Christmas Eve dinner last nith pineapple glazed ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, and Brussels sprouts.

Merry Christmas, All!!! 🎄 A big thank you to all the @LitsyLove people for all the holiday warm wishes. ❤️❤️❤️

Merry Bookmas to all and to all a Merry Bookmas!

1. As I mentioned somewhere before, if you count Pee-Wee's Playhouse Christmas Special as a movie, then that's my favorite hands down. Otherwise, it's a tie between A Christmas Story, It's a Wonderful Life, and Bad Santa.
2. All I want for Christmas is to get some cake. 🎂😄
3. A Prayer for Owen Meany

My very first Christmas #bucketlist item for #wintergames! I look forward to the marks and Spencer seasonal snacks all the time and I picked this up on the way to work today. Tbh I like the recipe less than other years but eh it‘s bucket list points! Probably won‘t buy this again tho.

My December #bookspinbingo list is ready to go 🤗!!! I‘m so excited for December! I know it‘s hard to read but every book is Christmas/winter themed in some way 🤣. I truly cannot WAIT to start!

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend whether you celebrate or not. I didn't get anything bookish specifically but this new pillow is so comfy to prop up with!bAlso excited for the puzzle it looks like my dog and then Fancy matches the cute cup. Then beside her is her Christmas present a new fleece tug rope that I make them. She also got a big bunny stuffed animal that's bigger than her.

Welp, I had my flight canceled on Friday and then again this morning, so it‘s just my cat and me in my new apartment for Christmas this year. I was so looking forward to seeing my family, who I haven‘t seen since 2019, but you can‘t control the weather 🤷🏻‍♀️. Looking forward to making the most out of a bummer of a situation- getting some major reading and organizing done, stocked up on yummy food, found some gorgeous hikes to explore 🎄

I am so blessed by your generosity and friendships Carolyn, Jess, Elisabeth (and Matty 💙), Helen and Karen! I have been showered with beautiful Christmas cards, a cute pair of bookish socks, a lovely bookmark and several wonderful books that I‘m looking forward to reading. Thank you friends and fairies for your kindness and Christmas wishes. Merry Christmas to you and yours as well! 💞💞💞💞💞

Wow @Daisey !!! Your #JolabokaflodSwap is simply PERFECT!!! ❤️ Thank you so very much!!! As I was tearing (yes, tearing!) into the wrapping paper on the book I saw the word “Killers”, and I was so excited…OK, that sounds a bit ominous. 😂 I love Raybourn and am looking forward to this one. Also, the chocolate?! Spot on!!!

Thanks again and thanks @MaleficentBookDragon for hosting the swap!!

❤️Yes!
💜Very close - I should make it!
💙Celebrating Christmas! 🎄🎅🏻❄️

Christmas decoration time for #WinterReadathon! Great friends gave us this a couple of weeks ago. It looks just like our Murray. I might need to bring him in on Friday to protect him from the blizzard! #WinterReadathonDailyChallenge

1. Matching Christmas pajamas, Christmas movie, and opening one present!
2. Ham 😋

🎄It seems to change from year to year. This is our first Christmas Eve since 1992 that we won‘t have any of our kids with us!! 🤶🏻❄️🥁
🎄Ham, pineapple stuffing, macaroni and cheese, corn. 🐖🍍🧀🌽

@Eggs #wondrouswednesday

Hey Soubhi, look what has arrived! Bindi insists on inspecting everything that enters the house and she says it‘s good to go! I can‘t wait to find out what‘s inside! Thank you so much!

Not enough trees left in the world for me to cut one down. I love all sorts of wine. I just can‘t get dressed up enough during the silly season. I do love Peter Alexander pjs though. My wardrobe rivals my library. White lights are more elegant than coloured.

Going out today! 💖🥰 #jolabokaflodswap #litsyswap @MaleficentBookDragon

I‘m gonna‘ be doing 25 Days of Bookstagram over on Insta starting December 1! Come along for the ride if you‘d like! 🎄⭐️🥰 #bookstagram #holidays #christmasreads

“And I heard him exclaim, as he gave one last look … ‘Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good book!‘”

Merry Christmas, Littens! 🙂🎄

Thanks for this fantastic #jolabokaflodswap package @smalldogs_bigbooks2419 !

I‘ve heard mixed reviews about the movie, which makes me want to read the book even more!

Merry Christmas!

Happy Jolabokaflod!!! To all the folks that did the swap I hope you are enjoying you Christmas Eve swaps ❤️ thought I would add a pic of a Christmas reindeer 🌲

So many bookish presents at our faculty Holiday Book Swap today! This was such a fun event that I think I'm going to make it an annual thing!

1. My wish is that everything I've mailed out arrives at their destinations before Christmas. The postal service is a gamble in it's current state.
2. Sadly, while we can expect precipitation on Friday, it's going to be in the mid 50s, so it's just dreary rain.

Woo Hoo 🎉 my #poutinepenpals #stockingswap arrived today ( on a Sunday 🤯 Canada Post must be trying to get off the naughty list) I can‘t wait to open it @ShelleyBooksie ❤️❤️

Sorry I‘m a day late but @MaleficentBookDragon my #jolabokaflodswap is on its way to it‘s destination with an ETA of Tuesday the 14th

I received my #jolabokaflod2021 package yesterday from @Amiable I am so excited! Can‘t wait to open it! Thank you!! @MaleficentBookDragon

Today we watched a new Xmas film- 8 Bit Christmas. Set in the late 1980s it gave me the nostalgia hit I love at this time of year. I‘m too hungover to read much today (a rare night out last night!) so this is how I‘m getting my points today! #wintergames2021 #teamgamesleighers

Not very bookish today but another 10 points for the photo challenge today #WinterGames2021 #MistletoeManiacs 🔴⚪

@Clwojick @StayCurious

@smalldogs_bigbooks2419 Both packages arrived! Now to hide them somewhere I‘ll remember and the cat can‘t find. Thanks so much!

My TBR is a lot leftover from the #scarathlon, but here‘s my #wintergames TBR! It‘s massive and I think I may get through like 6 books, but still! I like having options haha

#wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs

It is that time of the year!!! If you haven‘t ever participated you should… it makes the holiday even better!! 🎄🎄🎄#wintergames
@Clwojick @StayCurious

Only 99 days to go evidently! 🤣

What do you do when Covid prevents you from celebrating your annual Pinterest Christmas in December?? You celebrate in June!! Christmas cookies, music, sweater and a Christmas tree were all involved!!

Christmas with my favorites today!

Happy Christmas xoxo

Wishing all #littens a happy, happy day filled with lots of books and reading. 🤓📚☃️🎄 #christmas

Merry Christmas! I sure hope under that tree is a book, or two, or three!

Have a beautiful day, #Litsypals #litsylove whether you celebrate Christmas or not. 📚

Ohhhhhhhhh @CoveredInRust you picked PERFECTLY. I've been wanting this book for ages and these chocolates are so my style. Thank you so much!!!!! @MaleficentBookDragon #jolabokaflodswap

Thank you so much! I can not wait to dive into the book. I loooove the chocolate. And oh my goodness those chicken bones have a kick. I love them, but the teenager loves them even more. I keep catching him with one haha.Thank you!!! @MaleficentBookDragon
