Welcome to Week 105 of Mmm Mondays, where we turn Monday woes into Monday whoas!

It’s the last weekend of 2022, and I can’t say I’ll miss this year. It seems I spent a lot of it making plans that never came to fruition. Isn’t that the case for many of us? For many years?
Regardless, it’s customary to give an upbeat toast to announce the arrival of another lap around the sun, and this one seems like just the one we need.
Here’s to doing and drinking, not sitting and thinking.
Happy New Year! May 2023 be everything this year wasn’t.
Last Week’s Links
It being Christmas, it wasn’t surprising to receive few submissions, but the three we did get the honour to read were delicious.
As always, Marie delighted us with two stories. The first, A Christmas Spanking hit all the right spots (no pun intended), when Naomi asks couple Jayden and Jody for a helping hand.
Her second was Under the Mistletoe, where Nancy and Jim make the most of the office Christmas party.
Our third tale was from David Mei, with Pretty Ribbons. Giving new meaning to pretty in pink!
You can read all those Mmm’s here.

This section will be back in January (I hope). Until then, check out all these spotlight posts.
Week 105 Recommended Read
Tantalizing Tales
Who knew Christmas could be so sexy? Well, Tantalizing Tales did, of course. But my pick for this week isn’t Christmas themed, but worth celebrating in it’s own right.
Handcuffs for Beginners 7: David by Alex Irvine
Will Anne take his pants off?
This is part 7 of Alex’s Handcuffs for Beginners series. It can be read as a standalone, but I don’t think you’ll want to.
The only thing separating David from his wife’s new toy is a thin piece of fabric. Sometimes the waiting is the hardest part.
