On the first day of Christmas. . .#Giveaway and a Partridge

I’m sure you know the old folk song about the Twelve Days of Christmas and we’re going to be celebrating those twelve days here on the blog with a combination of giveaways, guest blogs and some fun!

First up, visit with me at The Qwillery. Leave a comment at the Qwillery or here on this blog for a chance to win a $10 gift card to your choice of either Amazon or B&N.

So, on the first day of Christmas, I’m giving you a Partridge in a Pear Tree. Well, David Cassiday aka Keith Partridge for those who remember the days of The Partridge Family show. My sis and I would always argue about who was cuter, David Cassiday or Bobby Sherman. I favored Bobby and she liked David.

What do you think? Who’s cuter?

Whenever you feel love it feels like Christmas!

It’s that time of year. The Christmas carols are playing in my office! I’ve made my list and I’m checking it twice. I’ve started making the grocery list for all the fixin’s for Christmas Eve, or Noche Buena as we call it. Getting ready for friends and family and most importantly . . . love.

I think this song from the Muppet Christmas Carol, a holiday tradition at our house and a favorite, sums it all up! If you can’t see the video below, you can click here. And by all means, if you like this, take a moment to check out the DVD! It’s an anniversary edition that I was lucky enough to get last year (since our tape was starting to show a little wear).

I’d love to hear if it’s one of your favorites or if you have some other favorite holiday movie!

Trimming the Tree & a Guest Blog & #Giveaway

Please take a moment to visit with me today at Fictional Candy as I chat about why I chose Atlantic City as the setting for THE PRINCE’S GAMBLE and also, why I LOVE Prince Alexander!

As I mentioned yesterday, lots of things have made it tough to get in the Christmas spirit, but last night changed all that. I had my baby home to help us trim the tree and we had a visit from Santa! That’s an old tradition in our neighborhood as Santa does a test drive through town with the help of the local fire department. Here’s a short video of that! If you can’t see it here, you can click here to view it.

Then we got to trimming the tree! It’s always fun to put out ornaments and remember from where they came. I’m sharing some of my favorites and some other trimming photos on Facebook. Don’t worry, even if you don’t do FB, you can view the album. Just click here to see the photos!

Here’s a shot of some of my favorite ornaments. No, not the beach Santa, but the five little angels playing in the orchestra. My sister and I used to play in the orchestra and this reminds me of those lovely days. These ornaments were handed down to me from my mom, so they are fairly old.

I hope the spirit of the holidays is with you! Please share some of your holiday favorites with us.

Getting in the Christmas Spirit

I’m having a hard time getting in the Christmas spirit this year for a variety of reasons. But the one thing that always makes me smile is a light display that one of the neighbors has up on his home. It’s one of those automated ones where you can tune in to a station to listen. We always have the station on and slow down to watch for a bit as we drive by.

So, I thought I’d share with you another light display. A little over-the-top, but it has to be appreciated.
