Welcome to Litsy!

I went to the post office for mail before they closed for the holidays and found a Christmas card. Thanks, Stacy, 😊 you know me well. Love Snoopy. @Sleepswithbooks

I read this every year!

IMHO, no better holiday albums exists. I have had it continually on repeat since Thanksgiving. Mr. Guaraldi and Charles Shulz were beyond daring with this jazz album. And kudos to the OLD CBS who said “okay“ to this production, sixty years ago ... the year I was born. 💚💙♥️

Feet tiptap through snow,
Peanuts dance on jazzy tiptoes--
Winter swings in time.

This holiday special first appeared the same year I was born. I have loved PEANUTS most of my life, and I feel a strong connection to this story. ♥️🎄💚

Small and trembling tree,
bare branches brave winter winds––
love makes you shine bright.

The English teacher in me wanted to end with “brightly“, but somehow, I like “bright“ better--even if it's gramatically incorrect. 🤣

Just finished my Holiday Playlist for 2025: 1293 songs. So far. This is what I'll be listening to all December.

Here's a link if anyone wants to listen:

From the top left:
•A view from my back den.
•Matt cooking last year's turkey on the grill outside; yes, it was in the 80s that day!
•Our oak tree, Rusty.
•Three pies I made on 3 different Thanksgivings: apple, pumpkin, and pecan
•Our niece Shane after we had raked the leaves. He's now 21.
•Sunset last year.
•Matt and me on a turkey day a few years ago.

I don't think you can ever be to old for Snoopy and the Peanuts Gang. I thought this book would have more about space based on the tittle, but it didn't have a lot. I did learn that Schulz was interested in space and in 1950 as Peanuts was getting started he had comic strips with the Gang talking about space.

I never saw nor heard of BLACK CHRISTMAS. Is it worth a watch?

Three of my fave quotes not on the quiz (and mostly on the mushy side). Can you guess the movies?
1. “We are going to go and celebrate being young and alive.“
2. “You put on the suit, you're the Big Guy.“
3. “It's not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love.“
