Jolabokaflod sounds like such a heartwarming tradition. Wishing you and your family a wonderfully cozy, peaceful, and joy-filled holiday season. May your Jolabokaflod be filled with great books, sweet treats, and precious moments of relaxation.
This is a wonderful tradition and I shall be bringing it to my family! The merriest of Christmases and the happiest of new years. Enjoy your break and I look forward to hearing from you again in the new year 🩵
Thank you! I have two out of three books purchased for Jolabokaflod. I hope to pick up some hot chocolate and that last book Friday 📖☕️ Preperation well underway to have my first Jolabokaflod! 💚
Oh!!!! Bravo!!! Yippee!!! Hope you get some tasty hot chocolate and discover a new favorite author!!! Wishing you a very cozy, relaxing, comfortable and happy Jolabokaflod!!! 💚☕📚💚☕📚💚☕📚 Thank you so much for celebrating with me too!!!!!!!
Thank you!!! I just shared here on Notes photos of our Jolabokaflod book stacks that we're white-knuckle valiantly refraining from opening until Dec 24! I hope you can find my recent Note with those photos... and yes, I hope to share more as is possible 🤞🤞
I really love the idea of reading and books as presents and spending Christmas Eve and days in my jammies, reading. I was just saying to myself, "self, thanks to wearing masks out in public and on planes and train, I haven't gotten so much as a cold or flu, let alone Covid. Yay me! but, this means I have not had the excuse of being sick to just check out for a few days and nap and read books and not do anything resembling work?"
Obviously, I am going to have to adopt this tradition! Happy Jolobokaflod! to all! Pass the chocolate!
Lol!!! Yes indeed!!! Happy Jolabokaflod to us all!!! Especially for us creative people freshly off the art gallery/publishing holiday crush - it feels so delightfully decadently indulgent to simply lounge about and read - no pressure to entertain anyone!!! Enjoy your new Jolabokaflod holidays!! Hope it becomes a tradition in your home too if you like it as well as we do!!!! 😘💚📚☕😘📚☕💚💚💚💚💚
Thank you for this description of jolabokaflod. I've heard of this before but never the name for it. What a delightful way to spend a long winter's night. And your version of The Night Before Christmas is wonderful. Bravo!
You're so welcome!!! I used to have a problem with my attitude around the holidays. I'm not religious, not much of a party person... But since learning about Jolabokaflod some years ago, as you say, it's a holiday I can love and wholeheartedly celebrate!!!! Nowadays about this time of year if it's not about books, chocolate, pajamas or art supplies then it can fu*k straight off!!! 🤣😘💚💚💚💚📚☕📚☕📚
I am so with you about this. This time of year is traumatizing for me. Too much of everything, as usual, sends me running to the hills (my little backyard) to calm down my sensitive, overstimulated, exasperated nervous system. Thank you so much for sharing this holiday celebration 🥰
P.S. It’s why I love your crow design so much. Not exactly a haiku form, yet an astonishing, brilliant haiku.
Thank you so much my soul-sister in seeking calmness this time of year!!!!! I wish you exactly the peace and comfort you wish for yourself!! And I'm so glad you like my Crow design and that you too, see it as a poem!! Thank you a thousand times for that!!!! 💚☕📚💚☕📚
Awww thank you Rebecca!!! Thank you too for all of the ways you make our email boxes happier places too!! Enjoy your break too!! See you in 2024!! 💚💚💚💚💚
Thank you very much for your hugs and wishes!! They're extremely appreciated!!! I hope Christmas goes well for you too!! Thank you again for your kindness!! 💚💚💚💚
I watched the video of your poem reading again, and I have to say that I like your poem much better than the Santa-centric version. I hope everything works out okay with the family matter. Family comes first!
