December - you gotta love December (well, I do anyway,) if only for the Christmas-ness.
True, December was, like much of 2022, full of ups, downs, and in-betweens.
But Christmas was nice - maybe not The Best Christmas Ever™, but then, is it ever?
I had a nice cwtchy* Christmas at home with my parents, my cats, and my brother. Who bakes awesome mince pies and gives them to me. (The brother, not the cats.)
*Just realised when editing that this is Wenglish and most of you won't know what being cwtchy means 😅 - uh... it doesn't really have a direct translation. It's kind of like combining huggy, and homely, and cozy... only better!
As I usually do in December, I cut back on blogging big-time this month.
...Because who has any spare time at Christmas, honestly?
So I didn't post much, and my regular post-series of Comics Wrap-Up, Friday Fics Fix, and Nerd Church, all went on break.
I did hold out a naive hope that I'd be able to build up a stockpile of blogposts, but we all know that that did not happen 😅
Pre-planning/pre-scheduling is an elusive art that I have not yet mastered 🙈
...There's no 'Most Popular Posts' section in this post this month, because the spam traffic was such a mess that it confused me too much to figure it out.
Unless there really is more 500 people in Sweden who magically decided to look at a 4-year-old post at the same time - it could happen, I guess.

Talk to me! 😊💬
Lol my comment was literally going to ask what cwtchy means; though I think you may have used it on twitter before. But then you answered it! What a lovely sounding word :)
ReplyDeleteLol, I was like... 'should I change that?' and then realised that I had no clue what I'd change it to, so I better just explain it!
DeleteCwtch (also spelled cwtsh sometimes,) is Welsh for hug (sort of... it doesn't directly translate) and cwtchy is pure Wenglish! Lol.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! 😉
I love the sound of "cwutchy".
Ah, at least you had a nice Christmas. Not in this household, we didn't. Not until my husband's health issues are fixed and I can REST. But I got some lovely and unexpected presents/mail from fellow bloggers that put a smile on my face...
Happy 2023 Cee!
*big hugs* Hope everything is the best it can be at any given moment!
DeleteCwtchy is an amazing word. There's no 'u' in it though - w is a vowel in Welsh (and by extension Wenglish). Cwutchy would sound more like kwitchy - which did make me smile when I read it! Lol ;) <3
Oops, sorry for the intruding vowel LOL. And thank you!
DeleteLol, no problem :)
