Hi Blythe!

That's a very lovely setting that you have there, sitting in front of a cosy crackling log fire.

I loved listening to you reading your holiday books to us, a very peaceful scene indeed.

Like yourself this morning we here now have snow on the ground which brightens up our outdoor surroundings. I'm eagerly waiting to listen to more of your stories.

So until then thanks for brightening up my day here. ❤️

Thanks Rob! I am glad you enjoyed it. I was a bit nervous, but it faded as I read through the familiar stories. I will probably get choked up for a few of my favorites. I think that is why I love holiday books. They are sweet, tender and heartfelt. Enjoy your day!

Au con·traire, Blythe! You didn't appear nervous at all to me as I listened to you reading to us, your readers. You reminded me of back in the day when my mom used to read similar story books to us kids at this time of the year. We carried on this tradition when our kids were quite young as well.

Hi Emma! Thank you for watching and joining me. It is nice to picture reading to someone rather than an open void. Sending much love.

This is wonderful! I'm a retired school librarian and this just brought me back in time to the days of reading aloud to my students - There is nothing better than being read to!

I completely agree Sheila! Nothing quite compares to being read to. I am grateful that my kiddos will still let me read to them even though they are in their 20's. Becoming a librarian or a bookseller is still on my list of future jobs. Thank you for watching!

Love all of this! It was enjoyable to listen to you read the books, and your cozy spot by the fire looks wonderful. And you got me dreaming of what a visual journal could look like in my own life! Thanks.

Hi Jillian! Thank you for joining me and taking the time to comment. Continue to dream and create a visual journal. I plan on spending the weekend gluing in images and decorating pages with holiday-inspired washi tape. I will be sure to make a new video again this year to see what it looks like. Have fun with it. 😊
