Christmas
On The Road at The Jaunty Quills
I’m talking about Christmas trees and favorite holiday traditions at my regular gig on The Jaunty Quills today. Stop by and tell us about your favorite traditions–or ones you don’t like–for a chance to win a copy of my holiday romance, His Mistletoe Bride.
Happy Holidays!!
I’ll be taking a short break here on the blog to be with my family and celebrate the holidays. I won’t be disappearing completely, though. You can still find me hanging out on facebook and Twitter, sharing fabulous Christmas recipes and chatting with readers and friends. But like most of you, I’m taking a little time out to focus on those things that matter most in our lives – our loved ones.
I wish all of you who celebrate at this time of year a very healthy, happy, and peaceful holiday. Be well, and see you in the new year!
Merry Christmas!!

Wow! What’s not to love about this blog hop?!
So what do I love about my favorite holiday, Christmas? A lot of things, but I really enjoy the beauty of the season that comes from all the wonderful decorations. Nothing says Christmas to me like a big tree covered with glittering ornaments and twinkling lights.
When I was a kid, my family took great pride in having the biggest tree in the neighborhood. My mother had boxes and boxes of glass ornaments – the real thing – that she carefully unpacked each year and helped us to hang on the tree. To this day, decorating the tree is one of my favorite parts of the holidays.
And there’s nothing like a gorgeous wreath to make things festive, too!
So pretty!
What about you, folks? Do you have any special decorations you put up to help you celebrate the holidays, whatever that holiday might be at this time of year? One person who comments will win my giveaway of two books and a gift card, and you’ll also be entered to win the grand prizes, too!
