Happy Holidays, everyone!

I am so excited about Christmas this year, and I'm not even sure why. 🤔 I don't do much decorating or even bother with a tree... (Cat Lady here, remember; decorations don't do well under the feline onslaught🙀) I'm not looking forward to another year coming to a close... And I'm not all that fond of the cold winter weather. ☃️ So what's the deal? 🤷‍♀️

Maybe it's because I started reading, listening, and watching holiday fare early this year--like immediately after Halloween.👻

There's still a lot on my To Do list, though, so I've got my "work" cut out for me...

🎅 HOLIDAY LISTENING 🎵


		I can't get enough of this song...I just can't.


		"Let There Be Peace On Earth" has always been one of my favorite songs (and the correlating Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi) so I can listen to this one all year 'round.


		One of my favorite Christmas albums--mostly for "The Chimney Song" and "The Twelve Pains of Christmas." 🤣


		Another favorite holiday album. I can listen to this one straight through, over and over, without getting tired of it.

🎄 HOLIDAY VIEWING 🍿

Always, always, always a favorite. What did we even do before this movie came out?

One of my New Years Resolutions last year was to watch more Madea, and I've done a pretty good job of catching up. But I'm saving this one...for obvious reasons.

What can I say? I love horror flicks, and when they take place at Christmas...awesome. Of course, they also terrify me, which is why I haven't actually watched this one yet.

Another bit of holiday horror fare...but the trailers freaked me out so much, I haven't worked up the courage to watch it yet. Hope to do better this year.

🤶 HOLIDAY READING 📚


		Loved Mary Balogh's and Nicola Cornick's stories in this one, and am quite enjoying Courtney Milan's so far.


		This one's up next...and a friend said she's going to read it at the same time so we can discuss. Yay!


		It's been too long since I've read Shalvis, and since she couldn't write a bad book if she tried, I know this will be perfect for the season.


		Looking forward to this one most because Jeffries never disappoints, and I want to end my holiday reading on the highest of high notes.

What are YOU reading, watching, and listening to this holiday season?

When you're a good girl or boy, Santa pays extra attention to your Christmas Wish List, right? 🎀

So I'm just going to throw out a few suggestions in hopes that these items make it onto his sleigh...🛷🎁

Yes, please. Gimme a couple of cats, a steamy book, and a dozen cups of tea and I'm good. ☕️

What's the point of a good cup of tea and a Namaste attitude if you're just going to be interrupted by the doorbell? 🤨

I probably don't actually need to make this statement...I'm thinking it's rather obvious in a lot of ways. But who couldn't use a sloth tote bag?

Don't just want...NEED! Am I right?

(They should hand these out at writing conferences. Just sayin'. 😉)

For The Kittehs! 🙀

This is just one of the many awesome cat climber designs I'd love to have. Of course, if I had my way (not to mention the money), I'd design the entire house for The Kittehs.

Kinda like this!

Oh, yes... The Kittehs and I could totally live here. 😻💖

With or without these, The Kittehs pretty much take over 3/4 of the bed. But it's such cute bedding, and they'd probably appreciate the visual of having their space clearly marked... 😽

Oh, shoot--how did this get in there? Not part of my Christmas Wish List, just what I generally look like first thing in the morning. 🥴

Because I'm a UNICORN, that's why! 🦄

Because...well, sometimes I'm a BAD unicorn. 😈🦄

You know my holiday policy:

Eat, Drink, and Be Grinchy! 😎

Totally. If I don't get the t-shirt for Christmas, I should probably just have this tattooed across my forehead. 🙄

Pretty sure I was saying this long before Tyrion Lannister and Game of Thrones came along. 😝

Hey, I'm gonna need something to drink out of those awesome glasses. 😉🍹

There it is--my Grown-Up Christmas List. 📮

It's all on you now, Mr. Kringle! 🤞🎅

What's on YOUR Christmas List this year? (Even if it's mostly "if I had $1,000,000" wishes.)

Uh-oh! What were you guys up to this year? I had no idea you were going to end up on Santa's Naughty List! 😱

Did you put a tack on teacher's chair?

Spill some ink on Momma's rug?

Do a dance on Grandma's plants?

Somebody snitched on you!🤨

Just joking, of course. I doubt you could have gotten into any more trouble than Mistress Heidi and I this year.😈🤣🤥

But I do feel I owe you an apology for the lack of Newsletter Giveaways these past few months.🙇‍♀️ My only excuse is the general chaos of my life recently.🤪 Mainly the loss of my entire computer hard drive, which is where I kept Newsletter topics, fun and games, giveaway photos and information...et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.😫 So I've kind of been re-learning all of this and scrambling for content--including giveaway items. Oh, I'm sure I've got some goodies around here somewhere. I'm sure I could take fresh pictures and write up fresh descriptions. And I will! It's just...taking me a while to get my feet under me again.🦶🏃‍♀️ 😬

But this I vow...

***picture me doing my best Scarlett O'Hara impression here, okay? 😉💪***

WITH THE NEW YEAR WILL COME NEW GIVEAWAYS!!!

🎉 🎁 🎀 💃

Forgive me for slacking off?

Excited about getting back to them?

Until next month--and a brand New Year...
