Have a Holly Jolly Christmas and Chanukah, Kwanza, Winter Solstice, Happy New Year...Enjoy whatever holiday you're celebrating!
Oh, I love the Hollydays...er, Hollidays...er, Holidays!
I think that shows in my books. It turns out that I've written a lot of Holiday romances. Even in books that aren't precisely holiday romances, there can be a scene or two that focuses on celebrations.
Why? It's not just my name!
I love writing holiday stories because of my family, friends and the fact they represent glee! If you follow me on social media you know how much I love glee! There's something about getting together with people you love and spending time.
This year, the holidays are going to be a bit different here. We're not getting a tree. We had a flood in the basement and everything from my family room down there is in the living room up here. Tomorrow the plumber is coming to install a new back-flow preventer. Then Monday, the flooring guy is coming to install a tile floor (after ripping up wet carpet, I'm not putting that down again). He's hoping to be done by midweek. Less than a week before Christmas. So no tree.
But to be honest, that doesn't dim my Hollyday spirit. And my kids are part of the reason why. We all agreed as a family to forgo exchanging presents and are instead donating the money we would have spent to an orphanage. As every one of my kids said they had everything they needed and gave gleefully gave up their gifts to give to others...well, I don't need a tree. I don't need anything like that. My kids are more of a shiny symbol of the season than any tree could be.
Yes. I love the holidays and have written a lot of holiday stories. And my family is one of the biggest reasons I believe in and write about the holiday spirit!
Whatever holiday you celebrate, may it be filled with family, friends and the holiday spirit!

Merry Christmas!
I had a plumbing problem which caused serious flooding/damage in my home. I hope things are back to normal soon.
