Crazy Socks & Writer's Block

This year was our first Christmas as a married couple, and first together in two years so I was really excited! We were so busy going into Christmas, it didn't feel like Christmas for a bit. But then we watched Elf together which was so fun! Sammy had never seen it before and I was nervous he wouldn't like it but he did. He was quoting it for days.  For Christmas Eve we went to Sammy's parents house. We had tamales and watched a Christmas story. It was my first time seeing that movie and I loved it!

The only book not pictured is Where She Went- the sequel to If I Stay. I had it as an ebook.  For my school books: I loved all the Shakespeare.  I hated Gullivers Travels.  There was too much beheading in Oroonoko f...
