Welcome to the Friday Finds for 12-13-2024

Have you finished your holiday shopping? If not, don’t worry—you’re not alone! I’m wrapping mine up this weekend, just in time to dive into cookie-baking and holiday fudge-making. This week’s finds are packed with festive recipes, fantastic reads, and heartwarming traditions to inspire your season.

From a nostalgic 4-ingredient Jell-O salad to sweet and salty popcorn perfection, you’ll find something to add to your holiday table. Bookworms, don’t miss the lineup of reviews, spotlights, and gift-worthy reads—including thrillers, cozy mysteries, and children’s tales that make perfect presents.

Also, a huge congrats to Tom Tracy, whose book Jazmyne’s Big Emotions is up for two prestigious awards! And for those feeling crafty, I’ve included simple knit and crochet patterns to make your own festive hat.

Let’s keep the season fun and stress-free (we’ll try, right?). Check out my weekly fun question—this week, we’re talking holiday traditions. What’s yours?

Peace, love, and holiday cheer!
