Sunday Post



The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba at the Caffeinated Book Reviewer

It's Monday! What Are You Reading is hosted by Book Date 

Another week and now Christmas season is here. Did everyone who celebrates have a great feast day? We had a good one with all the usual food and snackies. We watched Charlie Brown Thanksgiving after dinner and then settled in for a viewing of White Christmas, which might be our favorite holiday movie. A great way to start off the Christmas season!  

This week I returned to the realm of discussion posts- it's been a while! Do you decorate w/ books? It was nice to see what everyone thought on that topic. 

Anyways, have an awesome week!   


Song of the week


PULP COVER OF THE WEEK: 


BOOKISH LINKS 

This is nice- a marine center and some cool stepping stones on the water.   


This one I love how they have this open park like area in this amazing mall, which is connected to a transit station and everything is just hopping. 


Awesome Gundam robot statue. This one's only 2.5 minutes. 


And to close- this is amazing!

    Glad to hear you had a nice Thanksgiving. Ours was good too. We kept it small and it was actually 70 degrees here so we had our feast outside on the deck. It felt more like a 4th of July BBQ than Thanksgiving but it was really nice.

    The Walking on Water video is wonderful! 😃

    We had traditional fare, but I had Baz buy frozen rolls in case I didn't feel like baking and I didn't realize they had to rise for six hours before baking. 😅 So, we didn't have rolls until today, but they were great with leftovers. 😊 Happy to hear you had a good one. 🍂

    Have a wonderful new week! 🌞

      Isn't it amazing?

      I love rolls. Ours didn't really turn out this year though so they were a bust. :) I can eat those all days though!

      You also!!!

    Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. We had a good day just with the family, lots of food! I don't know about where you live, but here where I am it's been "Christmas season" since even before Halloween, I couldn't believe how early the stores were putting out Christmas stuff and people putting up lights. I guess this year folks are getting their celebrations and happiness in whenever and wherever they can though, so I get that :)

      We did. We're in Michigan and yeah decorating is up here too. It's funny, I watch those Japan videos and they have TONS of decorations up. I guess they like Christmas too- or the decorating anyways!

      I'm glad you had a nice Thanksgivings! :)

    Glad you enjoyed your thanksgiving celebrations.
    I’m not sure the piles of books on any available surface is really an acceptable decorating style :)

    Wishing you a great reading week

    I'm glad you had a nice Thanksgiving. I'm not a huge fan of the holiday, so it was alright. Definitely been watching lots of Christmas movies though and getting some reading in, so that's always nice.

    I didn't catch Charlie Brown this year but I did watch the Macy's parade which is something I hadn't done in many years. And (confession time): I've never actually seen White Christmas. Ack!

    Glad you have had such a lovely Thanksgiving, Greg:)). We are now working out what to do about Christmas, given we are currently in Tier 2 COVID restrictions, so a general gathering of the clan is going to be out this year. But even so, we'll do the best we can to be together with our families... I loved the footage of the huge robot and the sea walk. Thank you so much for the links!

    We don't really decorate so I don't have to worry about that much...lol.
