I was able to participate somewhat this week, so I‘m happy about that! I didn‘t quite reach my goal of 100 books this year (only 88 read), but I‘m changing jobs and expect to have more time this year, so I‘m going for it again! Happy New year, everyone, and playing this game has been loads of fun!

I got lots of favorite gifts and I already posted my Dracula puzzle. Here‘s another favorite. #mistletoemaniacs #festivephotochallenge #favegift @Clwojick

Lots of #familytime this weekend at my parents including game playing! #mistletoemaniacs #festivephotochallenge @Clwojick

Trying to keep up, I still have so many things I wanted to do and read and only so many days left 😅. I won‘t have my story times to rely on for points the last week so let‘s do this! #mistletoemaniacs #wintergames2021 @Clwojick

We just walked the neighborhood and decided to go with tree decorations for #wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs #festivephotochallenge #neighborsdecor @Clwojick

Cookies I made last weekend. And one of the cookies we had made for my son‘s Eagle Court of Honor last Sunday evening.

Two more bingos since my last post for #averymerrybingo.

PS Because I can‘t count, I had three new bingos on this card!

I was really busy last week and didn‘t have much time for the game. Sorry!! Plan to do better this week.

My first big Litsy bingo for #averymerrybingo! Question: does the free space mean I can put any book in it, or does it stay blank and I don‘t need a book for it?

This bag is full of gifts for my swaps. I need to wrap and mail ASAP! 😬

Took this photo last night and forgot to post it. #wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs #festivephotochallenge #coldnightin

My total for Week 1 of the #WinterGames is 932 points! I‘m still trying to wrap my head around all of the point activities and hope to up my score this week. Having fun with it, though! 😁🎄🎅🤶

We are slowly getting our family gifts wrapped including (shhh) books for the husband at the top of the pile.

#wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs

@Clwojick and @StayCurious Would you please confirm these are the correct dates? My points tracker says week 1 goes through December 7 but I assumed the above dates are the correct ones? #wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs

#wintergames #mistletoemaniacs Week 1 Points 13,136

The icebreaker game and the word search just rock the points!

And to show my team pride I‘ve changed my Litsy photo to me under, what else, the mistletoe!

We #MistletoeManiacs still love sending old-fashioned mail! @BarkingMadRun @AmyK1 @OriginalCyn620 @Jerdencon @Catsandbooks @Bookwormjillk @BeckyWithTheGoodBooks @Emilymdxn @jenniferw88 @OutsmartYourShelf @kezzlou85 @candc320 @TheBookHippie @MoonWitch94 @MsRadioSilence @Julsmarshall @tdrosebud @Allylu @Texreader @Bookgoil @Linsy @5feet.of.fury @Read4life @DebbieGrillo @TheDaysGoBy @Allydanielle88 @Charityann

🙌 to @kay.the.bibliophile and @TheBookHippie for literary classics love, and to @JessClark78 @Larkken and @FantasyChick for their fondness for horror!

🎄 Shout out to fellow #MistletoeManiacs @FantasyChick for shared favorite book Gone With the Wind and to @Texreader for Lonesome Dove! Congratulations on your impeccable taste! 😁

Using the #wintergames2021 point tracker this year. It‘s fun to watch the points tally up. But I do have to wing it when there‘s not a place for an event, like early bird & icebreaker posts. One day left in the week & I‘m already 2,000+ points! Using this document and the reading tracker really helps keep up with all the readathons. Plus I really went nuts with the icebreaker so that was more than 1,200 of the total points. 🎊🎉 #mistletoemaniacs

No. 10) All Littens make me smile! Here are some in the comments below.

No. 9) Sadly, some Littens work over the holidays:

@TheAromaofBooks @Larkken @Allylu @ozma.of.oz and our host @Clwojick

#wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs

No. 8) Loads of Littens send snail mail Christmas cards:

#mistletoemaniacs 10 points for the photo, 5 points for books, 1 point for participation

I hit 300,000 Litfluence points! I meant to catch the even number so it must have happened after I went to sleep this evening. Anyway I‘d like to do a giveaway to thank all of my friends here on Litsy. But I‘d prefer to do it after all the season‘s swaps so I don‘t mess up someone‘s gift giving. So look for a post sometime in January.

(Question 7) If the empty boxes count, I give my cat Christmas presents! 😉❤️🐈‍⬛ but lots of Littens do give gifts to their pets:

@OutsmartYourShelf @candc320 @TheBookHippie @AmyK1 @OriginalCyn620 @JessClark78 @MsRadioSilence @Larkken @ozma.of.oz @Julsmarshall

#wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs @Clwojick

(Question 6) I aspire to have an ugly Christmas sweater someday but until then, these are the Littens who‘ve confessed to owning one:

@Clwojick @Catsandbooks @kay.the.bibliophile @CindyMyLifeIsLit @jenniferw88 @Airykah13 @Nessavamusic @Jerdencon @AmyK1 @MidnightBookGirl @Traci1 @OriginalCyn620 @JessClark78 @MsRadioSilence @BeeMagical

#wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs

(Question 5) Littens who share the same taste in books as me including historical fiction, thrillers, or nonfiction:

@TheBookHippie @MidnightBookGirl @MoonWitch94 @Julsmarshall @tdrosebud @Allylu @FantasyChick @Clwojick @Read4life @melissajayne @Doll8455

#wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs

Which Littens inspire me to read? All of you!

But here are some (who may or may not be playing #wintergames2021):

@Librarybelle @BarbaraBB @Butterfinger @Catsandbooks @BookishMarginalia @Soubhiville @Clwojick @Andrew65 @Crazeedi @TheSpineView @StayCurious @MoonWitch94 @TheAromaofBooks @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @GingerAntics @Doll8455 @freeatlast1137 @TheBookHippie @Jari-chan @AnneCecilie and I could go on and on!

#mistletoemaniacs

Littens who also plan to read In a Holidaze like me: @Tracie1 @Larkken @BeeMagical @Linsy @Read4life

#wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs @Clwojick

No Littens I know of share my favorite books that I listed but as I was reading posts from my fellow #mistletoemaniacs, I realized I missed a few:

@CindyMyLifeIsLit for Lonesome Dove. Yes!

And these Littens share books that have been past faves Rebecca and The Stand: @OutsmartYourShelf @kezzlou85 @BarkingMadRun
