***I apologize that this post is late (again...) But we got home late last night after caroling and I didn't have time to finish this post. :)
You all knew it was coming, didn't you? You knew that sooner or later during this 12 Days a post would appear here that wasn't much more than a bunch of pictures of books. ;) I don't know what it is but I enjoy taking pictures of books. Don't ask why, but I do. It's photogenic. :) (Yeah, my mom doesn't get it either... xD)
So anyways, on with the introduction. I went around the house collecting all our Christmas books. Wow-sie! We have a lot more than I realized!
All our Christmas books...and movies. However, since I took these pictures we've gotten at least one more book and movie :) (more on that at the end of this post...)

Sisters in Christ,

Christmas books are just so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI have read: "Andi's Circle C Christmas", "A Surprise for Caroline", "Christmas at Rose Hill Farm", "White Christmas Pie" :), and I'm in the process of reading "A Lancaster County Christmas".
By the way, I think taking pictures of books is fun too! ;)
Thanks for sharing, Faith! : )
Aren't they?? Sadly, I haven't read as many books this Christmas season as I'd have liked. :-/ But I plan to make up for that between Christmas and New Years. ;)
DeleteOh those are all good ones! :D
Yay!!! *throws confetti* Someone who understands!
Thanks for commenting, Rebekah!
Has ANYONE had snow yet??? Still no snow up here in Washington too...no surprise there. ;)
ReplyDeleteCool books! I liked reading about them...and no, I DID NOT skim over your ramblings! I like ramblings since I am guilty of making them quite a lot myself. *sheepish smile* :)
Yeah, I'm none too happy about it either. *pout face* Last week it was 60+ degrees!!! Excuse me, it's CHRISTMAS!! It's supposed to be COLD!! At least in my 'neck of the woods'... Anyways... :)
DeleteHooray! Someone benefited from my goofiness. ;) I always enjoy reading other's 'ramblings'. It gives an interesting look into their lives and personalities, I think. *smiles*
Thanks for commenting, Rebekah!
BOOKS!!!!! :D I love books!! And I've actually been reading them lately. ;) After NaNo was finished (the month in which I might have finished at most 2 or 3 books) I went to the library and came home with a HUGE stack.
ReplyDeleteSarah looks at me like "You seriously got all those?" There weren't too many. . .just enough to fill an empty shelf in my bookshelf. But seriously, books are amazing!
I read through ALL your rambling and I love it when people "ramble". I think it's fun to read and it makes it feel like the person is actually talking to you. ;) Plus, it makes up for my lack of rambling. :P
We haven't had any snow yet either. . .we're SUPPOSED to get around 4 inches next weekend and I'm like "please, just a day or two earlier? Please?" We'll see. . . ;)
Of all the books you shared I've read "Christmas in the Big Woods", "Felicity's Surprise", "A Surprise for Caroline","Addy's Surprise", "Molly's Surprise" and "Where Treetops Glisten"!! :D
ME TOO!!! Hehehe, that library trip totally sounds like me. ;)
DeleteWhaaaa? You have an empty shelf?? Goodness, I envy you. B-) I can't remember the last time I did. :) Mom and Dad have talked about extending mine and Tucker's bedrooms. If/when that happens I'll have two bookshelves built into the wall! Yay!! :D
Yes, I feel the same way about rambling. ;)
We're supposed to get rain this week. :-/ Not fun... But I'm still hoping for a white Christmas! =D
Oh, those are all good ones! (But they're not the best...hehe.) You're reading "Christmas at Rose Hill Farm" too, right?
Thanks for commenting, Jess!
Well, the only reason I have an empty shelf is because. . .I sorta added a 2nd bookshelf to my room. ;) My other first bookshelf had a shelf added, but it filled up pretty quickly and I had so many books piled around the room. Faith was tired of it. So. . .I now have two bookshelf and about 1/2 a shelf free in each! I made sure I keep one shelf open for my library books, Bible, notebook, etc. So that they're not left on the floor. :)
DeleteYes! I totally forgot about that one! :P I actually finished it this past week! :D
Okay, that makes much more sense now. :D Yeah, I have a little hope chest thingy next to my bed where I keep my Bible, devotional, journal, books I'm reading, etc. ;)
DeleteOh, yay!! I want to finish it...but I don't know when. :)
