I'm not a partying person on New Years anymore as I'm too old for that. I do love to read, though, to bring in the New Year. What say you to a low key #Welcome2026Readathon Dec 30 to Jan 2. A good time to finish a book or maybe start one. Join and Tag me @Liseworks @LitsyEvents

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii The days are starting to blur because of holidays .
1. Daughter and Grandson visit for a few days
2. Made brunch for daughter and boyfriend yesterday
3. Taught my grandson to "Go fish"
4. Babysitting grandpup and grandkitty for a week
5. The most beautiful sunrise this morning

My favorite Christmas story/book is How the Grinch Stole Christmas ? ? and the song "You're A Mean One Mr Grinch." The original one sang in the cartoon. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Grandma does it again. She gives a candy cane to her granddaughter, and she gets all sticky. Then the kitty gets all sticky. This book rhymes and gets you laughing with sticky fun. #ISpyBingoDec @TheAromaofBooks

One of my favorite Christmas songs 🎵 is Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer. Just because he overcame bullying. And since I was bullied in grades 7 to 9, I could relate, and he gave me courage. #DashingTruDecember Red

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 love this series. This one is about the sister of the main character, so it's from her perspective, and we see her grow into her own. It's a quick read as it's a novella and book 4.5. One bingo spot #ISpyBingoDec @TheAromaofBooks #Read2025 @DieAReader

#DashingThruDecember Cookies 🍪 I have to go with C is for cookie by The Cookie Monster @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Zack 's key chain has an alligator that grows when it gets wet. So, when snow touches it, the alligator grows and suddenly has fun in the snow by sliding on a snow hill. #ISpyBingoDec with 2 spots @TheAromaofBooks

This is a great rendition of The Nutcracker by Lola #DashingThruDecember Nutcracker
@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

The only song I could find about craft or crafting is for kids. #DashingThruDecember @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I read this book because I needed a bingo spot for #ISpyBingoNov, and I really enjoyed it. It was tense, intense, sad, sizzling, and I was rooting for them. @TheAromaofBooks I really like how #ISpyBingo makes me read books I would usually skip. #Read2025 @DieAReader
This book is not in Litsy database

I have to go with the 1942 released song by Bing Crosby with White Christmas #DashingThruDecember White Christmas @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I listened to this while walking on my treadmill, and while doing some cross stitch. My favorite character in this book has got to be Joyce. I think I relate to these characters, being they are almost my age. I laughed out loud at some places. The MC was awesome.

This was funny to me because your temp is -1 °celcius and right now at my house, it's -13° C Ha! And so It may be cold outside, but I'm definitely staying indoors. I made some French Canadian meat pies for Christmas with a mix of moose🫎 , beef🐂, and porc🐖 meat. I think I'm going to spend the rest of my day reading for #CandyLandReadathon

I think I'm in the mood for some light reading 📚 for the #TheCandyCaneReathaton happening Dec 12-16. I'll see how many and how far I'll get in these books.

This is a cute book. Why is Bear wearing only underwear in public? Well, because grandma sent them to him, of course. #ISpyBingoNov @TheAromaofBooks

Hello, fellow Littens. It's time for another readathon. #TheCandyCaneReathaton theme is for when we go out to Christmas Parades or shopping, maybe even just being at home enjoying our hot chocolate with candy canes and a book just to relax and recharge. What book will you read during this time? A low-key readathon where you can tag me @Liseworks your choice of books and your progress

I want to thank all the Litsy Peeps who participated in #SnowyDecemberReadathon
I loved to see your posts.

#DashingThruDecember Carols Silent Night is one of my favorite Carol. Especially sung by a choir, and this choir sings it beautifully. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I managed to squeeze one more book for the #SnowyDecemberReadathon. These are not my favorite genres, but I needed something to read while doing my market this weekend. And I got another bingo spot #ISpyBingoNov @TheAromaofBooks #Read2025 @DieAReader

When my daughters were little, this was one of their favorite books. #ISpyBingoNov @TheAromaofBooks
