HoHoHo Readathon Challenge Holiday Sentence Results + Winner

My Mini Challenge:

The Mission: During the HOHOHO Readathon, pick six titles you have read in 2017 or are reading and make a holiday or winter themed sentence from them. The sentence can be a real sentiment or rather crazy (like mine). Use at least one book you are reading during the Readathon among the titles. If you take a picture or image with your six books and email it to me I will make up a collage for others to enjoy the fun.

Rules: Only HoHoHo Readathon participants are eligible to enter.
