Merry Christmas!


Merry Christmas to my wonderful BBB readers!  I hope you all have a safe, fun, joyous holiday filled with friends, family, beauty, wonder, and love.  Bonus if you get some downtime to relax with a book :)

This time of year always has me reflecting on the past 12 months, both the challenges and the triumphs.  No matter what happens in a given year, if I look hard enough, I always find that the good in my life continually outweighs the bad.  In my church, we often sing a hymn about counting our blessings, naming them one by one—all it takes is a little counting to realize how much I have to be grateful for.  Among them, I count you.  Thank you for choosing to spend a few minutes of your precious time here.  I appreciate your thoughtful comments, your amazing reading recommendations, and your friendship.  The book blogging community is a wondrous thing; I'm thankful to be part of it.

I want to share this beautiful video about the birth of the Savior.  Even though I can't understand a word that's spoken in it, it's infused with emotion and a spirit that just touches my soul.  Enjoy!  #LightTheWorld

Comments make me feel special, so go crazy! Just keep it clean and civil. Feel free to speak your mind (I always do), but be aware that I will delete any offensive comments.

P.S.: Don't panic if your comment doesn't show up right away. I have to approve each one before it posts to prevent spam. It's annoying, but it works!
