Hello everyone! I hope the last week has treated you well. I know that this can be a fun time of year, but it can also be a very difficult one as well. If you are struggling and need someone to chat with, my Instagram chat is always open. (@foxandfirthco)

We celebrated Christmas with my dad last night, and we had such a fantastic time. The kids had a blast which in turn made all of us adults happy as well. They were just perfectly kids at Christmas, you know? Eating all the junk, playing, making a mess, laughing.. all those good things.

Wyatt and the Hurricane. She wanted to draw just like her big cousin. It was adorable.

My reading has been in the bin this past week. And I have read nothing Christmas! However I did read this one.

It took place at the time of Winter Solstice so it maybe counts. I love this series and I think young Erin would have definitely connected with this character.

Reading this Week:

I am slowly reading. It may take me two weeks with the holidays and all the things I need to do still. And at bedtime I just zonk out I am so whipped. But I am reading! And oo, I just realized it is Christmas! So I am reading a Christmas book!

This is such a cool series.

Comfy Cozy Christmas: What We Have Been Watching

Top Ten Tuesday: My 2024-2025 Winter TBR

And I am woefully behind on visiting blogs. I hope to do that tomorrow morning!

Watching:

Billy and I have been watching a lot of Christmas movies lately. When we don’t, we are watching Murdoch Mysteries or the Great British Bake Off. We have two movies left on our list, the Muppet Christmas Carol and Emmett Otter’s Jug Band Christmas. I can’t wait!

Lisa from Boondock Ramblings and I are planning some Cozy Crafternoons on Zoom in January and February, to beat those winter blahs that happen late winter after Christmas. We are thinking we will have maybe two per month, so four in total. We will just all meet up on the date and time, and individually work on whatever we want – embroidery, coloring, knitting, crocheting, jewelry making, etc, while chatting or you could even have the sound off and just feel part of the group without the chatter, if you like it quiet. It is sort of open and flexible but also social. I will probably be stitching away – my friend has requested a small pillow with an embroidered possum on it, so I will be working on that in January for a while. Anyway, if you are interested in learning more send an email either to me at crackercrumblife@gmail.com or to Lisa at lisahoweler@gmail.com. That way we will also have your email for the zoom link! Our first scheduled crafternoon is January 11th at 1 pm EST.

And that is it from me today! I hope that you are all doing well, and I wish you a happy week of winter reading and a wonderful holiday season!

  3. I seem to have done my Christmas reading in October, thanks to NetGalley. There have been Christmas scenes in some of my Dean Street Press novels, though, and I believe my next one features Christmas quite a lot, so there’s that. Lovely to have started off your Christmas celebrations and I hope you have a super week next week.

    Sounds like you had a lovely Christmas celebration with family! I love the look of Aveline Jones. It sound like a story I’d like. The cover of Ghosts of Greenglass House is gorgeous! Hope you enjoy the story. I haven’t had much time for reading either. Have a lovely week, Erin!

  9. I am re-reading a book I have read many times. Sushi Daze by Rob Payne. It doesn’t exactly match my experience in Japan, but it comes closer than others from that era.
    I went to it because I took three books out of the library and while one was good, the other two left me flat after starting to read and I abandoned them both.
    Merry Christmas.

  12. Did you change out your photo at the top? I thought you had a different photo of Wyatt. It’s cute!

    You are on IG? I will look for you. I am not too active there but it IS nice to talk to someone.

    So jealous of getting to see the Britosh bakeoff! I saw one episode about bread once on a flight from Nebraska to Florida. I wish we could get cable,.
