I began listening to a Christmas Carol (one of my favorite holiday reads), and Tiny Tim reminded me once again to see the good in everything. I hope you are all ready for the holiday. The Royals spent the night with us Friday. It was just the four of us. Mr. Caffeinated (Gee-Gee) and I had a wonderful, exhausting time with them. I will have them again on Monday while their Daddy works. We will be baking cookies together. It should be interesting!
I am unplugged for my annual holiday. May your holiday be merry and bright. Look for my top ten audio and reads this week. Stay Caffeinated.

I really hope you’re enjoying your break. I feel like I’ve been on a break for a while, as I just haven’t visited blogs in so long and I missed it so. I hope that things will be better after the new year.

Happy holidays! Unplug and enjoy A Christmas Carol!
Lorna
Sounds like you had fun with the children. And baking for Christmas. I’ve not baked or made anything this year. I will be doing a sort of Christmas breakfast and a turkey breast for dinner, but that’s the extent of it. I do miss the Christmas’s from when my parents were alive! I hope you have a wonderful holiday Kimberly!
Nicole Pyles
I finally decided to join in this although my link acted weird and now I’m listed as The World of, but that’s okay 🙂 Have a nice holiday! I think I should do more for audio books, I see so many about them.
Kimberly
I fixed for you. Welcome, we are delighted you joined in the fun!

Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard
I love A Christmas Carol! It’s the perfect Christmas story (and movie.) I’ve got a recording somewhere, read by Jim Dale. I should have brought it with me so I could listen to it over the holidays. Enjoy your time baking cookies with the Royals, and have a lovely and joy-filled Christmas! (Oh, and thank you for the shout-out for The Backlist Reader Challenge!)

I hope you have a wonderful holiday with your loved ones!!!

Merry Christmas! Enjoy cookie baking with the Royals — baking is one of the best holiday traditions!!!
Sophia Rose
Ah yes, A Christmas Carol is a lovely reminder about the magic of Christmas. I watched the TV movie about Charles Dickens that turned out pretty good.
Enjoy your cookie making and Christmas with the family!
Stephanie Jane (Literary Flits)

I hope you have a lovely holiday, Kimberly! (and to everyone!) I am looking forward to mine and to seeing my family.
I like the cover on the new Jennifer Estep book…ironic that they chose a more traditional fantasy-look for the cover. I don’t understand the jeans and t-shirt look on the previous cover in the series. *scratches head* (I maybe in the minority, here but it just looked odd to me.) Oh, well. I hope you enjoy it. I might add it to my tbr list, nonetheless.
Michelle @Because Reading
Enjoy your break! Hope Santa is good to the royals (I am sure he will be)
Have a very Merry Christmas, My friend! I wish you nothing but the best of everything for the New Year! <3 oxox

We had the grandkids on Tuesday and little ones are exhausting. Trip and Anna had to take a nap after while Ralph and I were still going. That is completely backwards. LOL I hope you have a wondrous Christmas and a fantastic week, Kim!
