Welcome to the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot, where we offer a place for bloggers to link up and get a fresh set of eyes on their posts. We also feature one blog a week, letting our readers know about the blog and providing a link so readers can learn more about it. Please feel free to post new blog posts or old ones you want to bring attention to again.
Look for the post to go live about 9:30 PM EST on Thursdays.
This week I am watching Christmas movies — old and new. I need that escape and I think a lot of people in my blog circle and in the world need that too.
I’d love to know — what are some of your favorite Christmas movies? Old and new! Let me know in the comments.
Now, let’s introduce our current hosts for the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot:
Marsha from Marsha in the Middle started blogging in 2021 as an exercise in increasing her neuroplasticity. Oh, who are we kidding? Marsha started blogging because she loves clothes, and she loves to talk or, in this case, write!
Melynda from Scratch Made Food! & DIY Homemade Household – The name says it all, we homestead in East Texas, with three generations sharing this land. I cook and bake from scratch, between gardening and running after the chickens, and knitting!
Lisa from Boondock Ramblings shares about the fiction she writes and reads, her faith, homeschooling, photography and more.
Cat from Cat’s Wire is a bookworm, movie fan, crazy cat lady, armed with beads, cabs, wire and a very jumpy brain which loves to go down rabbit holes!
Rena from Fine, Whatever writes about style, midlife, and the “fine whatever” moments that make life both meaningful and fun. Since 2015, she’s been celebrating creativity, confidence, and finding joy in the everyday.
We would love to have additional Co-Hosts to share in the creativity and fun! If you think this would be a good fit for you and you like having fun (come on, who doesn’t!) while still being creative, drop one of us an email and someone will get back with you!
WTJR will be highlighting a different blogger each week this year! We invite you to stop by their blog, take a look around and say hello!
This week we are spotlighting: The Copper Table

Thank you so much for joining us for our link-up.
And now some posts that were highlights for me this past week:
(Love Erin’s journey to make her house feel like Christmas)
(These roasted veggies look so good!!)
I loved this review of an episode of Star Trek New Worlds!
This week I am also featuring one recent blog post from each our hosts (except me because you are already on my blog *wink*).
|| O’, Lego Tree, O’ Lego Tree by Cat’s Wire ||
|| Chicken and Dumplings Soup by Scratchmade Food and DYI Household ||
|| A Long Love Letter to Nigel by Marsha in the Middle ||
|| In the Glow of Hanukkah: Then and Now by Fine Whatever ||
Important things to know about the link-up:
- You may add unlimited family-friendly blog post links, linked to specific blog posts, not just the blog.
- Be sure to visit other links and leave a kind comment for each link you post (it would be too hard to visit every link, of course!)
- The party opens Thursday evening and ends on Wednesday.
- Thank you for participating. Have fun!

I loved Suzy’s review of that particular episode of Star Trek! We are big Trekkies here (as opposed to Star Wars which I never really did get into). Thanks, my friend for featuring my post, too. You are too kind!

I love Christmas movie season! My girls both love “The Holiday” and, as a family we watch “White Christmas” and “Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol” each year! It’s tradition! Thanks so much for the party, Lisa! Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed Christmas!

My number 1 is and will always be “The Bishop’s Wife”.
I actually watched “White Christmas” the other day for the first time in my life (because I happened to catch it on TV) and I watch a Hallmark kind of movie every, now and then for background noise if I craft on something (which I actually did last week).
