December Reading Wrap Up

Looks like I didn't get much (any) blogging done during December. Which I suppose makes sense given how busy the month is generally and also the fact that I rarely manage to blog at all anymore. I'm still keeping at it but just, trends show this isn't going to get better anytime soon.

December was a good month. Cookies were baked. Trees were decorated. Gifts were exchanged. All in all I think things were a success and I'm sad to be taking the decorations down, though happy to be gaining the space back. 

I'll do a full year end wrap up but let's look at those sweet, sweet December stats.
