Christmas was a delight with the Royals but quiet once they left in the afternoon. I confess we all took naps! Mr. Caffeinated and I took them to the zoo on Thursday. We had a delightful time inside the Dome. It rained Saturday, all day and I spent the day catching up on reviews, cleaning up my laptop, Dropbox and updating profiles everywhere.
I had to add the consent checkbox to comments. I am hoping it slows the spam comments. When a username for your nether regions leaves a comment, you know you need to take action. Lord have mercy! ? ?Stay warm and Stay Caffeinated!

Happy New Year!

I had to do reinforcements to keep out spam recently too. I am glad you had a nice Christmas and Christmas naps are always welcome! It sounds like you have had some nice days out but it is good that you got to do some computer spring cleaning before the new year came in!
Tyler H. Jolley
You had rain in December? We’ve had snow three times this month — which is very unusual for where I live in Colorado. I hope the new decade brings you health and wealth!
S. J. Pajonas
Happy New Year!! May your next decade and beyond be full of happiness. 🙂

It sounds like you were able to get a lot accomplished! My monsters are running amok and I never know what day it is, haha.

I’m so glad you had a good Christmas.
It is awful how the spam picked up on comments.
Happy New Year and Happy Reading!
Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard
Your Christmas sounds wonderful! I’m glad you had a good time with the Royals. I hope your New Year is equally fun — and that 2020 brings you and your family good health and many joys.
Oh, and sorry about the spam issues. They can get pretty bad, I agree.
Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer
I’m glad to hear you had a good Christmas with your family.
Yeah, I hate spammers, too. I get plenty of them in my blog’s comment section!
Bianca @ always bring books
Yikes on bikes about the name of the spam commenter! I’m glad to hear your Christmas was good. Have a happy New Year!
sjhigbee
Glad you had a peaceful, enjoyable time, Kimberly. As for spam… I think the perpetrators should be hung by their thumbs, frankly. But that’s probably me being too Scrooge-like. The ones that always get me are those spam comments which ask me how I deal with spam! Really???
Aj @ Read All The Things!
Haha, good luck with the spam. I’ve been getting a lot of it recently too. I’m glad you had a good Christmas. Have a great week!
ShootingStarsMag
Spam comments….craziness. I hope the check box will help keep those away!
I’m glad you had a nice Christmas and how fun you made it to the zoo with the Royals!

omg i cannot believe you got comments with names like that ??♀️ Christmas was good here, just lots of skyping family since I’ve recently moved out
Lorna
User name from your nether regions? Lol I’ve had so many things hacked lately so I can definitely relate. Glad you had a good Christmas. Mine was extremely low key this year. We had a merrier time yesterday with my friends family for their family Christmas. The zoo sounds like fun!
Angela (Angel's Guilty Pleasures)
Have a great New Year!
Mary Kirkland
Spam comments are the worst. Hopefully you don’t get too many more of them. Glad to hear you had a good holiday. We spent time with family too. Things were quiet here except for the drama around my apartment complex.
Maureen @ Maureen's Books
I’m glad you’re enjoying the holidays Kimberly! And naps sound wonderful.. I’m in need of one! LOL!
I hope you had a fun weekend. Happy New Year!
Michelle @ Fitkittymama Reads
My blog is pretty small, so I don’t generally get a lot of spam. When it hits, it’s in big bunches and some of them are pretty awful {lots of porn sites}.
PixiReads
Naps on Christmas are the best naps. ?
Lillian @ Mom with a Reading Problem
? Yeah my Akismet is not catching as many spam as it used to. Those names that come through will make you blush though.
I’m glad you had a good Christmas. We spent the day with my in-laws and spent the eve with my family. It was busy, but nice to be able to see everyone. It was rather mild for Christmas though (70s!!!) so no ugly Christmas sweaters for us. Hope you have a great week ringing in the new year!
Sophia Rose
LOL, I napped a little between morning Christmas and Christmas dinner at the in-laws. We got all your rain in the night and this morning. Love sleeping to rain. LOL on your risque commenter.
Have a nice New Year’s week, Kimberly!
Shelleyrae @ Book’d Out
I’m glad to know you had a wonderful Christmas despite a tough year Kimberley.
Wishing you a great reading week and and a Happy New Year

OMG you made me laugh so hard with your spam comment Kimberly! I am glad that you had a great Christmas! Itwas time that you had some fun.

I love the zoo there. They were one of the places which had white alligators. We were there one time, coming from Minnesota, and it turned out to be a member appreciation day. What I loved was they had all kinds of great zoo shirts on sale, all cotton, and we bought several. I will be listening to Risk It All this week.
It sounds like a nice holiday with a balance between activities and more personal time for naps and catching up. I wish you a lovely new year with peace and joy!

Nap are my favorite. I took a lot of those the last few days. 🙂
Of course it’s going to rain when I go back to work but this week was very nice.

I hope your New Year is filled with all the things you love most in the world! Happy Reading! xx

Glad you enjoyed your Christmas! Hope this new change keeps your spammers at bay. :-0
Melanie Simmons
I’ve seen some really strange names for commenters too. Hubs and I plan on a trip to the zoo this week. It is one of my favorite places to spend time and get out for a walk (especially in winter). I’m also trying to get caught up on blogging stuff. I’m almost there.
Lola
Glad to hear you had a great Christmas. Sounds like you’ve been productive too with cleaning up your Dropbox and updating your online profiles. I hope the checkbox helps limit the spam. Have a great week!

I’m glad you had a nice Christmas, Kimberly, and have had some time to relax and get caught up. The zoo sounds like fun, too.
Hope you have a great week!
Jessica @ a GREAT read
Glad you had a nice holiday! Mine was nice and quiet and I enjoyed myself. I got to take the last two days of the week off, so things were just so relaxing. I read and did a little shopping post holidays sales. It was good time. I’m not looking forward to tomorrow at all, lol.
Nice new read! That’s a new to me one but I am digging the cover. I hope you enjoy it!
Here’s my StS

I only get a spam comment once in a great while. Usually on a post that’s at least a couple of years old. wtf I’m glad you had a great Christmas. Here’s to a wonderful New Year! *raises mug*

So glad you had a lovely Christmas, Kimberley! It was pretty low-key on this end… just the way I like it. 🙂 Fingers crossed the settings stop the spam. Those are so annoying!
Vi @Inkvotary
Seems most of us had a peaceful Christmas. Glad you had fun at the Zoo with the Royals. I need to clean my Laptop too but so far had no time to do it. Happy reading!
Amy
I’m glad you had a nice, relaxed Christmas! But the spam comments sound annoying so I hope you’ve managed to sort them out. Spam comments are the worst.
Wishing you a happy new year 🙂
Kathryn Trask
OMG yes I can see the spam problem. Honestly its outrageous! Naps are understood after a big event like Christmas and young ones. All the best for 2020, yes indeedy a new decade.
Laura Thomas
LOL I’ve had some insane spam too. Glad you had a nice holiday, Kimberly:)
