Welcome to Litsy!

Ideally, I‘d have posted this yesterday. But I worked a full day, celebrated Noon Years Eve with a bunch of littles (50 strong), & was up to my knees in confetti. Once home, I was knackered. So! Playing catch up for a bit this morn.

A strong reading month in a strong reading year. December favorites include: Love & Trouble, Will There Ever Be Another You, The Rachel Incident, & Journal of a Solitude. Apparently, I was feeling rather literary!

‘Joyful celebration of the spark within.‘

Yule—also known as the Winter Solstice—is celebrated when nighttime has reached its maximum length, and there is a promise of brighter days to come as candles are lit and feasts are enjoyed.

Karen!!! this day has been incredibly rough with a severe crisis this morning- so I was delayed opening your package. This is post 1 of 2 because you are so kind and generous- and the cat butts made me smile ❤️😘 I love all the wonderful cat surprises!!! and books!!!!!! Thank you so much! #naughtylistholidayswap

Sweet story about 3 very different half-sisters who shared their summers with their dad, a quixotic vagabond with a curio shop, who excelled at creating magic wherever he went — & wooing women. When he dies, the estranged adult sisters come together to fulfill his final wishes, including the reinstatement of the town‘s solstice festival. Everyone grows closer & grows up. It‘s a feel-good story, perfect for this time of year.

Journaling and reading by my symbolic lighting of the Yule log. Wishing everyone a happy Winter Solstice!

Finally, it is time for one of my favourite solstice reads and an amazing comfort read! I adore my Jamie and my Maxum. 🧡🧡🧡 Merry Solstice season everyone! (Yes, I know the solstice isn‘t until tomorrow, but this is helping me avoid football and other auditory chaos.
