• I also put up my Christmas tree the other day, and then finally decorated it today. It is probably too full of things but I love them all. I have fairies and unicorns and a pegasus; bookish decorations, especially kid-lit ones; superheroes; rainbows; and ornaments from people that I care about or that I bought when I was with them. And of course Petal! All of them have meaning to me. Some of them are for child parts of me that didn’t get to play when I was a kid, some of them are for the writer in me, and there are so many others. I think it’s important that we do what makes us feel good. So it might not look like a tree out of a magazine, but it’s a tree that feels right to me. What kind of decorations do you like to put on a tree, or have around during the holidays? #christmastree #writerchristmas #cherylrainfield #YAwriter #LGBTQwriter #booknerd #bookworm #ireadYA #survivor #feminist
• I spent time with the four little girls this afternoon. I love them so much. And I love that they love me. I try to go see them once a month. I will visit them again on December 24th. They would happily have me over for Christmas but I think I get to sad and down on that day and I’d rather not. It’s been our tradition to have me over there on the 24th the last few years and I enjoy it. I love them all. #chosenfamily #friendsarefamily #cherylrainfield #YAwriter #LGBTQwriter #booknerd #bookworm #ireadYA #survivor #feminist
• Dear readers, every year Toronto’s children’s bookstore Mabel’s Fables does something special – they invite booklovers to donate their favorite book to a child in need. If you go into the bookstore you will see hundreds of angel ornaments hanging from the ceiling with a child’s name on it who needs a good story. @mabelsfablesbookstore gift wraps the books and delivers them to Social Services in time for the holidays. What a special gift for a hurting child. If you’d like to take part you can call them up to buy a book for a child who needs one. www.mablesfables.com . And don’t forget: Books make great presents for the people you love. . . #giveabook #donateabook #booksmakegreatpresents #mablesfables #toronto #thankyoutoronto
• It’s snowing out! Big, white, fluffy snowflakes swirling around. I love the first snow like this. I love the big fluffy snowflakes. I love how it looks magical and beautiful. I don’t love being cold all winter and trudging through snow. But that first snowfall? It is beautiful. . . . #snow #cherylrainfield #YAwriter #LGBTQwriter #booknerd #bookworm #ireadYA #survivor #feminist #petalrainfield #chinesecrested #hairyhairless #dogstagram #ilovemydog #ilovemychinesecresteddog #servicedog #dogmom
• I love the contrast of the dusting of snow on leaves. . . . #Idontmindthiskindofwinterweather #nature #thankyoutoronto
