As promised, here is another Christmas story. :) How many of you are still watching Christmas movies and have your Christmas decorations up? I know I can raise my hand for both of those categories. :) Christmas music will still be playing from my speakers on January 31st too--I do love this time of the year, and I always wish it could last longer.
What did you enjoy most about this Christmas season? For me, there are so many things to pick from, but I would probably pick celebrating my grandparents' birthdays. I hope every day of December was wonderful this year and that each of you had a lovely Christmas holiday! Happy New Year!

Today I am going to post a line from:
A Yorkshire Christmas
by Kate Hewitt
And the first line is...
"How to Have a Perfect Christmas. Claire Lindell's mouth twisted cynically as she read the heading of the article in the airline magazine."
Happy reading, happy Friday, and Happy New Year!

ReplyDeleteMy First Line Friday comes from a book I will be reading and reviewing soon, A Courtship on Huckleberry Hill by Jennifer Beckstrand.
Elsie Stutzman forced a smile and took the last bite of asparagus potato raisin casserole on her plate. She swallowed decisively, and it slid down her throat like a cup of wet cement.
Have a great weekend and stay warm!
I love the title of that book! :) Happy New Year Susan!

ReplyDeleteEleanor and I are home in MN for two weeks for winter break and it is an absolute dream. We only get to come a few times a year so I treasure this time especially. We've had a wonderful Christmas with family and are getting to relax and be lazy and read A LOT!

A great dream to me!!! Hope you have a great weekend, and a happy New Year. 😊
