I hope you all are having a safe and Merry Christmas! Things have gotten a little hectic for me as we ended up having to take my Grandma to the hospital last weekend and found out that she had a heart attack. Just yesterday they put a pacemaker in and she appears to be recovering well from that surgery. Unfortunately, the hospital where they did the procedure is an hour and a half away and since we are in the middle of a snow storm here, I haven't been able to spend as much time there as I would have liked. But I am planning on spending the day with her tomorrow.
After opening our gifts this morning I was surprised(not really) to have received four books for Christmas! I received two books from the book blogging Christmas exchange, which I will post about later after I take a picture, and I also received Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet from my husband, and The Story of Edgar Sawtelle from my son. Woohoo! We decided this year not to exchange a lot of gifts among our family as we are planning a nice Cancun vacation in March and consider that a Christmas gift. I might have to bring my new books on vacation with me!
I hope everyone is having a relaxing Christmas vacation, and if you don't hear from me very much over the next week, it is probably because I am traveling back and forth to the hospital. With all of the events of this last week I haven't had much time for reading and the roads are still too cruddy for travel,I think I will just go and relax with a good book for the rest of the day.

Merry Christmas to you and your family! You are so right to spend the time with your grandmother - we'll be here. Your trip to Cancun sounds like a wonderful Christmas present.
Merry Christmas, Jo-Jo! I hope your grandmother is well enough to go home soon.
Merry Christmas Jo-Jo! Hoping that you can spend a lot of time with your grandmother. Stay safe in the weather. My grandmother has been ill for a few months so I understand what you're going through. Enjoy your books and Cancun sounds wonderful!
Merry Christmas :)
Have a lovely holiday
For a book addict I can shockingly admit that I got no books at all!
Merry Christmas!! :)
Merry Christmas Jo-Jo! Enjoy your books!
Oh No! Poor Grams...I'm so sorry that you are going through this now, but I am glad that she is ok and was able to have a surgery so quickly! Drive safe and try not to stress yourself out too much! Thinking of you!!
Sounds like a nice Christmas - books are such wonderful gifts. I hope your Grandma feels better soon.
Jo-Jo-I hope that you get to visit your grandmother tomorrow.
Sounds like a lovely holiday JoJo
I hope your Grandma is okay Jo-Jo. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandmother but I'm glad that they were able to fix her up with a pacemaker. She's probably as good as new now!
My husband and I did not exchange gifts this year either but folks did manage to give me some book gifts too so I will post about those tomorrow.
Wishing your gram a speedy recovery. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, and you must be excited about your upcoming vacation.
