Blogophilia Week 26.17 – Christmas Comforts

Posted on December 21, 2025 by Marvin's Blogophilia

Greetings, Dear Blogophilians! Welcome to Week 26 of Year 17!

What a week we have in store!!! Today we welcome Winter, the final season of the year. (It’s also the final week of Season 2 in Year 17 – time is flying!) We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy Hannukah to all who celebrate!

This week is the pinnacle of the whirlwind holiday season. It’s also a time where we seek the wonderful comforts of the holidays we celebrate – family, good food, celebrating, special gifts that have meaning, our pets, snuggling by the fire, drinking a hot cup of coffee or tea, toasting to good health, enjoying a seasonal cocktail, listening to beautiful Christmas carols, the list is endless!! So – what brings you comfort during your holiday season? What makes it special – what gifts do you enjoy giving or receiving? There is so much to be thankful for – what are YOU thankful for?

As always, we at the Marvin House are THANKFUL FOR YOU! YOU are the reason we have kept on blogging for over 17 years. Even when are some weeks when only a few of you writing – we understand! But your friendship and camaraderie always inspires us to keep on going. We always look forward to your wonderful writes – please feel free to jump back in at any time. Join us at Blogophilia, the place for blogging, fun and friendship!

Blogophilia Week 25.17 – Winter Symphony

Posted on December 14, 2025 by Marvin's Blogophilia

Greetings, Dear Blogophilians! Welcome to Week 25 of Year 17!

Winter is not quite here, but it has already made its impending arrival known to some of you Earthlings (and aliens)! Is winter a symphony of snow in your mind, or does it have negative connotations? Do you welcome winter with open arms and appreciate frolicking in the “white stuff?” Or do you prefer to hole up and snuggle under the cozy blankets with a hot cup of coffee or tea? This week, dip your boots (or toes) in the snow and get creative! We at the Marvin House are looking forward to your wonderful writes – join us at Blogophilia, the place for blogging, fun and friendship!

Posted on December 7, 2025 by Marvin's Blogophilia

Greetings, Dear Blogophilians! Welcome to Week 24 of Year 17!

What speaks to your soul? What moves you deeply, pauses you in your tracks, or brings you joy and happiness? It could be family, friends, pets, nature, good food, birds, music, poetry, a sunset, the ocean, the mountains, life, love…. the possibilities are endless! Or – if your brain could speak to your soul, what would it say? This week we want you to tap into those things that inspire and speak to the inner recesses of your spirit. So take a deep breath, and exhale your thoughts onto paper. We at the Marvin House are looking forward to your wonderful writes – join us at Blogophilia, the place for blogging, fun and friendship!
