Welcome to Litsy!

And here is my complete #WinterGames TBR.

Books on my December TBR with a #RedCover .
Day 1. #WinterGamesDailyPhotoChallenge @StayCurious @Clwojick
#TeamWreathItAndWeep

First-timer here! Ive never done one of these challenges before, and I‘m a little confused about #WinterGames. Do all of the books have to be Christmas/Winter themed? Or do I get points for any book completed? Also, I know I‘m responsible for tracking my own points - does anyone have a good tracking system they could share? I just want to be a good teammate! #SnowflakeSquad

My December TBR… or at least my 12 most wanted to read books. If by some miracle I finish all of these, there are plenty more waiting in the wings! 😂🎄📚📚📚📚📚

#WinterGames #EarlyBird #TeamWreathItAndWeep (best name ever! 😂)

Welcome to the team of #SantasBookshELVES 🎅🏼📚✨
I'm so excited to be your team leader for the 2023 #WinterGames

We have 2 team reads that you can choose to read for 50 points. I'll tag them in the comments. We also have a team movie this year and I selfishly chose a new favorite of mine that you can find on Netflix
These are all optional, let me know if you have any questions and start getting your TBR ready for this wonderful time of year!

So excited for #WinterGames. Take my excitement for #Scarathalon and times it by 1000 to get my excitement for the December fun. See @Clwojick and @StayCurious posts for the sign up sheet. ❄️☃️❄️

I was able to participate somewhat this week, so I‘m happy about that! I didn‘t quite reach my goal of 100 books this year (only 88 read), but I‘m changing jobs and expect to have more time this year, so I‘m going for it again! Happy New year, everyone, and playing this game has been loads of fun!

I got lots of favorite gifts and I already posted my Dracula puzzle. Here‘s another favorite. #mistletoemaniacs #festivephotochallenge #favegift @Clwojick

Lots of #familytime this weekend at my parents including game playing! #mistletoemaniacs #festivephotochallenge @Clwojick

Trying to keep up, I still have so many things I wanted to do and read and only so many days left 😅. I won‘t have my story times to rely on for points the last week so let‘s do this! #mistletoemaniacs #wintergames2021 @Clwojick

We just walked the neighborhood and decided to go with tree decorations for #wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs #festivephotochallenge #neighborsdecor @Clwojick

Cookies I made last weekend. And one of the cookies we had made for my son‘s Eagle Court of Honor last Sunday evening.

Two more bingos since my last post for #averymerrybingo.

PS Because I can‘t count, I had three new bingos on this card!

My first big Litsy bingo for #averymerrybingo! Question: does the free space mean I can put any book in it, or does it stay blank and I don‘t need a book for it?

This bag is full of gifts for my swaps. I need to wrap and mail ASAP! 😬

Took this photo last night and forgot to post it. #wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs #festivephotochallenge #coldnightin

My total for Week 1 of the #WinterGames is 932 points! I‘m still trying to wrap my head around all of the point activities and hope to up my score this week. Having fun with it, though! 😁🎄🎅🤶

We are slowly getting our family gifts wrapped including (shhh) books for the husband at the top of the pile.

@Clwojick and @StayCurious Would you please confirm these are the correct dates? My points tracker says week 1 goes through December 7 but I assumed the above dates are the correct ones? #wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs

#wintergames #mistletoemaniacs Week 1 Points 13,136

The icebreaker game and the word search just rock the points!

And to show my team pride I‘ve changed my Litsy photo to me under, what else, the mistletoe!

We #MistletoeManiacs still love sending old-fashioned mail! @BarkingMadRun @AmyK1 @OriginalCyn620 @Jerdencon @Catsandbooks @Bookwormjillk @BeckyWithTheGoodBooks @Emilymdxn @jenniferw88 @OutsmartYourShelf @kezzlou85 @candc320 @TheBookHippie @MoonWitch94 @MsRadioSilence @Julsmarshall @tdrosebud @Allylu @Texreader @Bookgoil @Linsy @5feet.of.fury @Read4life @DebbieGrillo @TheDaysGoBy @Allydanielle88 @Charityann

Using the #wintergames2021 point tracker this year. It‘s fun to watch the points tally up. But I do have to wing it when there‘s not a place for an event, like early bird & icebreaker posts. One day left in the week & I‘m already 2,000+ points! Using this document and the reading tracker really helps keep up with all the readathons. Plus I really went nuts with the icebreaker so that was more than 1,200 of the total points. 🎊🎉 #mistletoemaniacs

#mistletoemaniacs 10 points for the photo, 5 points for books, 1 point for participation

I hit 300,000 Litfluence points! I meant to catch the even number so it must have happened after I went to sleep this evening. Anyway I‘d like to do a giveaway to thank all of my friends here on Litsy. But I‘d prefer to do it after all the season‘s swaps so I don‘t mess up someone‘s gift giving. So look for a post sometime in January.
