December is here, and That Artsy Reader Girl has donned her Santa hat for a month of celebration! This BLC Logo uses designs by Icons by http://dryicons.com.

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Bookish Little Christmas with That Artsy Reader Girl! By now, I’m sure many of you know how much I love Christmas. I love decorating, I love baking, I love the buzz at the stores, the carols, and the lights. I love this season of giving and love. I love the cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies, and the Christmas romance novels. Give it all to me!

Throughout the entire month of December, I will be sharing Christmas book reviews, giveaways, features, and guest posts from my very wonderful friends! Grab yourself some hot cocoa, and get ready for a fun and festive month here on the blog!

Would you like to participate? I’ve always got room for more friends! Just let me know, and I will fit you into the schedule. :) And be sure to send me links of any Christmas posts you come across (or write yourself). I’d be happy to help spread the word, or just come and bring some Christmas cheer. And I hope YOU will stop by lots this month, mainly because I love your face, but also because it’s going to be so much fun and I’d hate for you to miss out!

That Artsy Reader Girl’s Bookish Little Christmas Event Kick-Off

Happy December! I love December, and I love everything to do with Christmas. I love the snow, the food, the decorations, and the music. One of my favorite things to do during this time of year is sit by the fire and read Christmas books. I spend all year searching for good ones. The next 24 days at That Artsy Reader Girl are going to be filled with Christmas posts, Christmas/winter book reviews, festive features, music, recipes, and a LOT about me. Definitely feel free to link me to any Christmasy posts that you’ve got on your blog, and I’ll announce them here as well! And feel free to steal my button and participate right along with me.
