Stacking the Shelves (15): A Very Happy Holiday Haul

hosted by Tynga's Reviews 

Boy, this year has just been flying by! This will be my last Stacking the Shelves post for 2014. That's seriously just nuts for me to even consider, since I feel like it was just last week that I was kicking 2014 off. Anyway, I decided to make my post holiday-themed and used our lovely Christmas tree as a background for my photos! (I basically just wanted it to be Christmas on the blog as much as possible, really.) Hope you enjoying seeing what I've managed to accumulate in the almost four weeks that have passed since the last time I posted one of these!
