This week's question is:
Since Thanksgiving is coming up next week, let's use this week's Hop to share what we are most thankful for and what our holiday traditions are!I'm thankful for you all, truly. My followers, readers, friends. I've been going through a bad time recently, and blogging, as well as the people in the book blogging community, has made things a lot more bearable for me.
My holiday traditions usually include a mash-up of Thanksgiving and my birthday (AND I HATE IT; I want them separate, dangit!). My aunt and uncle and two cousins come over and we celebrate Thanksgiving at my house and we gorge ourselves on turkey, garlic mashed potatoes, and sparkling cider. Then we all talk for a good hour or so, until our stomachs are settled. And lastly, we do a mini-birthday celebration for me and eat cake. Not too exciting. But it's good food! :D

This week's question is:
It's technically my fifth month. I started at the end of July, but I was gone for most of August and only really started up in September so that's how I count it. So, three months. :3How long have you been book blogging??

Mmm I want some of those garlic mashed potatoes! I'm with you though about being thankful for our blogging friends...it's a nice little escape when times are rough. Happy Friday :)
Happy Friday, Kristina! I hope you're back to your bright, chipper self soon...no more stress! I love my bloggy friends, too...they are wonderful, yeah? :)
Hopping by! Your Thanksgiving dinner sounds yummy! At least your birthday isn't during Christmas. My grandfather had a bday around that time and always hated it because he got less presents LOL Hope you have a great weekend!
Dropped by from the Hop! Happy Reading!

MmMmM sparkling cider does sound pretty good! I think I'll have to go search for a bottle ;)
Kristina, my long lost love, I can't believe that we started out blogs around the same time. Its just further proof that we were separated at birth. xD
And to reply to your comment on my blog, we've talked about this; you need to move out HERE where we actually have RAIN and THEN we can gorge ourselves until we puke. Cake on Thanksgiving sounds awesome! ;D We can put candles in the turkey. <333
Thanksgiving is my holiday. My oldest son's birthday is right at this time so it was understood that this would be my holiday to cook and have everyone over. We usually have the traditional Thanksgiving meal. I cook the dressing that my Mom taught me how to make. I love this time of year. I'm off from work almost the whole week. Love it!!

Old follower here, just stopping by to wish you a great weekend. :) My dad always says people mash his birthday with Christmas, so I get what you mean. Congrats on having blogged for five/three months. :)
Hi,
Just hopping by and following though. My son feels the same way about Christmas, his brthday is the same week so we make an effort to make them seperate.
Happy Birthday!
