Happy New Year’s Eve!

My house was so full from the week before Christmas until now – full of people, cats, presents, and food. I was so glad to spend Christmas with family, but it is also a relief to finally have my house back.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary on Friday and had a lovely gluten-free dinner at The Melting Pot. Our server asked us what the secret to a long marriage is – I told him to make sure you always remember to laugh together, even (and especially) if you are in the middle of an argument.

So, that was my week – how was yours?

I received 2 NetGalley ARCs and 5 physical ARCs. I did not get any books for Christmas this year but I didn’t ask for any nor have any that I wanted (and hadn’t already bought 🤭):

We watched a lot of classic Christmas movies and claymation shows. One of my all-time favorites is A Year Without A Santa Claus. It’s the one with the Heat Miser and Snow Miser. It always makes me happy!

    Now the “Miser” song is playing in my head…”I’m Mr. Heat Miser…” Happy anniversary! It sounds like you had a wonderful Christmas!

    Welcome back! I totally agree about enjoying family when they visit, but also enjoying having the space again when they’ve gone! 😂

    Happy Anniversary, and Happy New Year. I agree, marriage is about laughing together.

      I think it reminds you that no argument is so dire that you can’t see the humor in things. Happy New Year!

    Happy belated Anniversary and Happy New Year.
    I had a delightful Christmas with family. It’s so hard to believe another year is only hours from passing!

      It feels sort of surreal that tomorrow is 2024. This year has been a whirlwind! Happy New Year, Mae!

    Hahaha, I can relate about being glad to have your house back. We celebrated at my parents’ house, and again for Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve… and I always enjoy it, but I also enjoy getting home to the quiet. 😆 Happy new year!

    Hope you enjoy the new books!
