Holiday preparations have definitely cut into my reading time – even my audiobook time has been preempted by Christmas music. But I am still squeezing in a little.
For those of you just discovering this feature, the Friday Fragments lists what I’ve read over the past week. Most of the time I don’t include details of either short fiction (unless part of a book-length collection) or magazine).
The Fragments are not meant to be a recommendation list. If you’re interested in a not-at-all-inclusive recommendation list, you can look on my website under Neat Stuff.
Once again, this is not a book review column. It’s just a list with, maybe, a bit of description or a few opinions tossed in.
Recently Completed:
Do recipes count? If so, I’ve completed a lot of reading here. And in craft books.
In Progress:
The Commodore by Patrick O’Brian. (Audiobook.) Jack’s back on shore. I always worry when he’s on land.
Also:
Continuing Naruto re-read and am up to issue 47.

There are several ways recipes count dear Jane Lindskold especially during the holidays.
Enjoyment
Efficiency of money
Finding a fun way to show a personal belief related to the holiday
A way to show what holiday characters you really believe in
On some holidays your special recipes show trust or gratitude.
Who you’re showing trust of or giving thanks to with a holiday recipe could be several spiritual characters. Archangels, Jesus, God, Saints, the animal you trust the most, or even what you wish for your true friends by picking certain flavors like what some people say rice and beets can do. CHRISTMAS is one of the holidays recipes can be counted on the most, because not everyone imagines the same Santa. Holiday recipes for Christmas are one of the ways you can show which name you called this Saint. Santa Claus,Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, Papa Noel, a Star Man. Plus from different cultures he appears in different ways. I myself have a gigantic coloring book that tells a few facts about Christmas around the world. And then the numerous decorations of this big Christmas man are found everywhere.
Boat
Motorcycle
Bike
Sled
Tractor
walking with a star stick
Stepping through a big window
Swinging on a rope
Jasmine Olson sharing her idea of how recipes count is one of the most unnoticed things. Just like you should yourself while choosing habits, you shall be yourself while deciding how to have a special feast or a holiday since that can make the celebration more fun.
