Wow, December 13th. Sigh... Okay, I'm not going to dwell on the disappointment of missing so many days on the blog.
The Christmas card is finished and everything is being printed today and will start going out tomorrow. I'll do the big reveal once they are in the mail. I'll probably do it as a puzzle, just for fun and then later in the day post the whole picture and story.
I always listen to audio books while I work and for the last few years I've tried to find good Christmas-y stories. I've shared some of my favorites before. This year I have found a new strategy for finding fun stories.
If you have an Audible membership, put "Christmas" in as a search and then click "included in your membership" and you'll find an amazingly long list of free Christmas/Winter stories! There are classics and mysteries and children's stories and lots of sappy Hallmark style cozy romances and plenty of just good, fun stories.
Currently I'm listening to Lady Osbaldestone's Christmas Goose and it's a charming early 1800s story about a grandmother and her three grandchildren as they try to solve a mystery and is very reminiscent of Downton Abbey.
Enjoy!

Lately I've been on a Charles Dickens kick. I had no idea he wrote so many books! I am really enjoying them. Listened to "Barnaby Rudge" first, now "Dombey and Son."
Yeah you!! You got your card done!! I have been watching Nate Eaton with the East Idaho News Secret Santa...a real eye opener and tear jerker for sure:)
