Merry Ménage to You!

My winner is Laurie G. Thanks so much for the great comments, and I hope everyone has a great holiday season, however you love to celebrate it.

Okay, it's serious now. December is here. No putting off those holiday preparations any longer. Do you have your tree up and decorated?  Your gift list started? Cards sent? Me neither! I've tried to keep Christmas 'lite' and stress-free the past few years, and find I enjoy it more that way.

My tree is up, and will be decorated slowly. Some things won't get put on, and that's okay. I don't send cards anymore, and I applaud those who do. That will be something to look forward to doing when I retire. Gifts? I buy a few, but have finally talked my adult siblings into not exchanging gift cards. My honey and I buy each other small items, but would rather have a weekend away as a treat.

However you celebrate, I hope it's wonderful for you! Enjoy this hop, and I hope you win some goodies just for you, or to share. Leave me a comment below, and be entered to win either an Ebook from my back list (that's everything except Out of the Ordinary), or, for US residents only, a goodie bag with home made one-of-a-kind bookmarks and other hand-crafted items. 

Thanks to our hosts, Day Dreaming Book Reviews, My Secret Romance, and The Book Tart for putting on this Merry Ménage blog hop. Click on another name when you're done, and happy hopping!

Handcrafted gifts are the best kind of gifts to receive. That means that someone took the time to make something especially for the receiver. It's sad to say that I don't know too many people who do that anymore.

Happy Holidays!

We have really toned down the gift giving in my family, with 7 brother and sisters, plus their kids, it was getting out of hand. So now we pick one name from a hat ;)

Thank you so much for hosting this great give-away, Naomi!
I power through Christmas prep. Shopping done in one or two days and the house decorated in one day, then I sit back and enjoy the season.

Just put my tree up today. I put it up and put on lights then let my niece decorate it how she wanted. She did a wonderful job.

We do a totally mellow Christmas. Most of our anxiety is wrapped up in who ate the most cookies.
