'Twas the Night Before Christmas | Clement Clarke Moore
post image

What. A. Long. Day.

The library took part in our town‘s Holiday Festival today. I led two “Ring-a-Ling Read-Aloud” storytimes (with a jingle bell jam sesh at each) and then stayed after the library closed (upon request) to do an interactive read-aloud of The Night Before Christmas (which I 100% kept calling The Nightmare Before Christmas 💀), prior to other staff reading A Christmas Carol. There were scavenger hunts & spiced cider. I‘m knackered!

monalyisha Even better, one of my coworkers excitedly announced to someone that there‘d be “spiced spiders!” I died. 😂 We‘re all a little mad/secretly goth here. 🖤 4h
Chelsea.Poole Sounds exhausting but oh so festive. 4h
monalyisha @Chelsea.Poole Bingo on both counts! I was mentally unprepared. It was frigid today, so I expected most people to stay home. They did not. In a BIG way. 😅. But people were in good spirits! It was uplifting, honestly, which feels rare these days. I‘ll take it! 4h
AnnCrystal Sounds like a long, yet Festive day 🥳💚🤍❤️. 1h

Well, like the rest of you, I was stumped by quite a few. I would have done even worse if some of you hadn't shared--thanks to all for the assists! 🤣

This month, I plan to post about the #BookSpinBINGO picks I‘ve read this year. Here is the first, my #DoubleSpin pick for January. I‘m so glad I read it — not only to help me connect to the season, but also because it gave me a better sense of who Mary Oliver was as a person. I intend to read more of her poetry in 2026.

TheBookHippie I loved this read. 3d
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 3d
Caryl @TheBookHippie It was different from what I expected. I loved it, too! 3d

Amazing illustrations, very dark and some new stories of Poe's I have not read yet.
