More Christmas tags! More Christmas tags! I haven't seen a Christmas cracker in quite a while. In the U.S. (at least in my region), people don't typically use Christmas crackers. (Also, we call them party poppers.) We save them for New Year's, if we use them at all. Dee did this tag and I liked… Continue reading Christmas Cracker Book Tag

Festive Christmas Book Tag
It's Advent and Christmas is on the way. Everyone on Theological Twitter is arguing about colors. ('tis the season, I guess.) My church celebrated the Hanging of the Greens. I've purchased most of the gifts I need for people on my list. (I have two relatives and a Secret Santa to go.) To get hype for Christmas,… Continue reading Festive Christmas Book Tag

A Sailor Moon Story
In December 2016, having JUST moved to Seattle, I decided to do all my Christmas shopping at Kinokuniya Book Store. Conveniently located AND full of fun knickknacks? Call me a Christmas GENIUS. In truth, this plan excused endless browsing of items I couldn't afford, such as stuffed sharks, long socks, and English-translated manga. One day,… Continue reading A Sailor Moon Story
Merry Christmas Book Tag
Well...merry official Christmas. This is the last of the Christmas tags. I found this It Starts at Midnight with custom graphics provided by the creator. God bless us every one. Did y'all know this was a book? I wouldn't have put "Christmas" and "Tolkien" in the same sentence. I'm a little salty about Tolkien's unofficial sainthood,… Continue reading Merry Christmas Book Tag
Jingle Bell Book Tag
My favorite writing soundtrack is my dog's snoring. (I still call her "my dog" even though she lives with my parents.) I have a couple free hours before we leave for Family Christmas (it's a big deal. My dad is making cream cheese crackers.) I have a few more days to complete as many Christmas… Continue reading Jingle Bell Book Tag
The Christmas Stocking Book Tag
I had to make use of the eggs and butter in my fridge, so tonight I'm baking for the first time all season. And, to honor the holy rite of seasonal baking, I'm doing the Christmas stocking tag. (I stole this idea from Mel's 12 Days of Blogmas. Read her post and check out her queer… Continue reading The Christmas Stocking Book Tag
Christmas Cuisine Book Tag
I found an older post on Beth's blog chock-full of foods I've never heard of. The idea of a Christmas feast scares me (carrot casserole!?), but I couldn't resist the tag. Happy Christmas, Harry. Yule Log: A beautiful edition of a book that you won’t touch for fear of ruining it. I've almost purchased the… Continue reading Christmas Cuisine Book Tag
Alone at Christmas
I upped my meds this week. I'm amazed at how much better I feel. I made it to Saturday Morning yoga for the first time in two months. I wrapped all my Christmas presents. I joined friends for karaoke, even though it was past my bedtime. Additionally, a whole host of dark thoughts about singleness disappeared. I… Continue reading Alone at Christmas
The Joy of Christmas Book Tag
My doctor just upped my meds, so I may be able to feel joy again soon! It's already December 12th. I need to drum up some joy. Let's celebrate Christmas. (I got this tag from Dee's post; for additional joy and historical fiction recommendations, go check it out.) Anticipation The Christmas excitement is real.… Continue reading The Joy of Christmas Book Tag
