The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Hello Loves!  I hope this Monday has been good to you.  Here are some snippets of life in December so far in.  This is truly one of the most happy times of the year and I love making my home as festive and wonderful as I humanly can.  This year I've incorporated some dolls into my decor.  This beautiful girl usually lives in my bookshelf and I have sitting front and center in my living room and love the gold and cuteness she adds to my space, plus I like that she's out and about.  Santa galore.  The big-ish Santa is over 20 years old and was a gift, he comes out every year and some years he was even our tree topper.  This year I also used my gorgeous Vintage Red Spines to add more Christmassy vibes to the home and encourage me and my sister to read one of these. I am thinking of picking up A Single Man to read at some point this month.  Love how this corner looks and it's the first thing my eyes go to when I walk into my living room....

  Hello December!  Helo Festivity!  Hello Joy!  Hello Happiness!  Hello Blogmas!  & Vlogmas (which I am hoping to do over on IG) There's something about December that makes you want to slowdown and enjoy these mellow days with a cup of cocoa and look back on the year.  I love this month.  I love this feeling of goodness and merriment.  I am hoping this month is going to be all that I hope for.  I hope there's light, joy, celebration and kindness.  Be Good December.  Be Kind.  Be Gentle.  And Be Wonderful!  I am so happy you are here.  Our little tree is already up, the earliest it's been up. We normally get the tree up by the 10th but we needed a little pick me up last night, so even before the clock struck 12, our tree our up and lit.  And it just makes the home so happy.  I love waking up to it and I love spending my evening by it's side.  GOALS FOR DECEMBER:   1. Be happy as can be...

  Some birthday Bling.  A very thoughtful gift from my friend Meenakshi. An alphabet pendant from Prerto.  I wore it today and felt a little bit fancy and dressed up after months!  A dollie.  A new friend, her name is Tuntuni and she is a thing of joy and beauty and oodles of cuteness.  My sister got this super adorable doll from SewMe Dolls and I am so in love.  A birthday cake.  A Piggy who was cute and yum!  Some birthday reading.  Ruskin Bond on my birthday is a little bit of a tradition.  Read this book in one sitting and it gave me quite a few helpful pointers on How To Be A Writer.  My birthday was a quiet and happy one.  Reading.  Cake.  Yummy Food.  And so many birthday wishes and love.  I feel incandescently happy and grateful to be here and alive and well and I feel so loved.  It's been a good one!  Thank You  & More Please!
