Fröhliche Weihnachten!
Being of Germany descent, Christmas Eve has always been the big one, the important celebration time of Christmas for my family. In the spirit of Christmas I’m going to pass along some gifts that I’ve recently received. No, I’m not talking about re-gifting, I’m talking about…awards!
I’m shamefully behind in acknowledging one of these and passing it on, but what better time to do that than Christmas? Let’s pretend I planned it this way.
I got the Circle of Friends Award from Heather at Gofita’s Pages. For this award, share 5 things you love to do and pass along to 5 bloggers.

1. CarrieK at Books and Movies
2. Christine at booktumbling
3. Karoline at Okbo Lover
4. Nat at Book Line and Sinker
5. Stacy at Stacy’s Books
I received

List 10 things that make you happy.
Try and do at least one of them today.

Link back to the person that tagged you.
Covering both these awards, here are 10 things that make me happy / things I love to do:

Congratulations on your awards! And thank you so much for thinking of me! Have to agree with #4 – getting books in the mail makes me very, very happy! :)
Growing up, we always celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve. Santa would come while we were at Christmas Eve Service. Now that I’m married, we celebrate on Christmas Day. There’s that extra anticipation by waiting that extra day!
Happy Christmas!
Congratulations, thank you, and have a wonderful day :)
Thank you so much, Alita! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas day. :)
