Books to Read for the Winter!!!!! (a Christmas Eve post by Lexi)

Our "loverly" readers,

Gotta love Eloise!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE!!!!! We hope that your day is amazing, and that you get to open a present a day early, lol! I thought I'd share a few great winter books that are must-reads!!!

Eloise at Christmastime by Kay Thompson

This book is so much fun! I'm a huge fan of Eloise, and have been since I saw the movie version of this! I love her spunk, and how rambunctious she is. (My mom calls me "Eloise" at times, lol.) This book is more of a kid book for adults, if that makes sense, and is actually written to be just that! You'll love it!

My True Love Gave To Me: Twelve Holiday Stories edited by Stephanie Perkins

These are short stories (that aren't related), and they're great! It only took the first story for me to fall in love with this book. These are not only for Christmas, but also hit on New Year's and such. Cover up with your favorite blanket, grab some tea, and snuggle a pet or stuffed animal, and just enjoy these stories!

How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss

You know I had to add this to the list; it's a classic! If you've never read it, why not now? Skip the movies of it (yes, that means the illustrated one as well), and actually read the book!

Starry, Starry Night: Three Holiday Stories by Lurlene McDaniel

These stories, also unrelated to each other, are heartwarming and may bring a tear to your eye. I read this pretty much every winter, and it doesn't get old. Read them in any order you want, but just be sure to read them!

The Night Before Christmas by Clement C. Moore
Of course I had to add this one! Again, another classic that should be read to satisfy the kid in you. This is especially if you're in a state where it's not going to be enjoying any snow any time soon (like us here in Texas)!

I know I'm missing other books that people read in winter every year, so if you have a suggestion, post it in the comments! We'd love to hear from you guys!
Till next time!!!

XOXO,

Lexi

Hackers Are Not Fun -- Tips (a post by Lexi)

Dearest Readers,

We are working on this issue as much as possible. (Well, actually, my dad's friend is, as he was the one who got hacked and then it spread from him to my house and his job and such.) Anywho, it should be cleared up in the next few days, and hopefully our network will never be hacked again.

Just a few tips if you get deeply hacked:

Cover your camera on your computer when it's on. Even if the light isn't blinking or lit up, they can still see you.
Don't say anything around your computer when it's on. The stereo may not look like it's on but they can still hear you.
Go into recovery mode and back everything up onto an external hard drive. In fact, do this weekly so if you do get hacked or anything happens to your computer, you can just wipe it and start again. I recommend one that has large storage capabilities. Mine's 3 TB, which means I'll probably never fill it, but hey, better safe than sorry.
Don't solve the problem yourself. Go to a professional or an awesome computer/IT person, especially one that you know and trust.
Be careful with the info you save in documents on your computer. It's safer to have them on paper hidden in your house than to save every password or a credit card number or anything on your computer.
And, last, but not least, don't download anything that you don't know is completely safe, or this can happen to you.

That's all. Don't want to make you paranoid, just want to ensure y'all are safe from this. This has been a deep hack (from laptops to iPads to even our phones!!!), and it's been frustrating and terrifying. So be safe out there, you guys!!!

We'll be posting soon!!!

XOXO,

Lexi
