Hope all those that celebrated had a wonderful Christmas. Whether it was with family and friends, or a smaller, quieter Covid Christmas, I hope you enjoyed the day.

I had assumed when I took off all week that I would have all the time in the world to do all the things, including blog posts and book reviews but... yeah, that didn't happen. Somehow it still managed to be a busy week with appointments, errands, gift wrapping, cooking, and more. Still, it was a wonderful week and it was so nice to have the time off to immerse myself in the season.

Christmas Eve was lots of fun - filled with family, food, games and gifts. Christmas Day was quieter, with just my mom coming over for lunch, but even so the busy-ness of the last few days caught up with me and I was exhausted. I indulged in a looong nap yesterday afternoon!

I always enjoy Kenny G's Millennium Version of Auld Lang Syne. And I get teary when President Reagan talks about the Challenger crew. Every single time.

    1. I've gotten hooked on this Piper Rayne series ever since I read the prequel novella a month or so ago. It's a big. blended family and I guess each sibling has their story.

  3. A belated Merry Christmas! I get what you mean about last week. It was exhausting. I hosted my in-laws Thursday night and my parents and sister's family yesterday. I just want to sleep today away. I'm not cleaning or cooking anything today!

  6. I'm glad you got to have some nice family time this week and enjoy time off work. I planned lots of baking and decided to just make one thing at a time over the next few weeks. I wish you a very Happy New Year!

  9. I feel the same way, Tanya! Like you, despite having some time off I feel like it just flew by and I didn't have much time for reading/blogging. Sounds like you had a lovely holiday with family, though! Yay for a long nap! It feels so indulgent, right?

  12. Merry Christmas! Work has shut down due to COVID again, so I lucked out and got to work from home this week. Like you, I didn't nearly accomplish everything I had hoped to, but it has been relaxing.

    1. Thanks Mar! I'm actually not a fantasy reader (at all) but I figured if anyone could make me enjoy it, it would be Nora Roberts. It's been great so far! (And the dragons don't play a huge role. LOL)
