Hello Friends,
Since today is my birthday and it’s in the middle of the Christmas season, I thought I would give away a few of my favorite things!
I love Christmas and books and writing and chocolate and snowmen. And I love to give gifts, so you are the lucky ones today, my friends!
I have one $20 Amazon gift card, some books, some writing items, and I’m going to give them away to my readers this week. All you need to do is reply to this post and answer the question, what is your favorite thing about Christmas? Feel free to forward this post to friends who enjoy inspirational romance books or reading blogs about author journeys. For those who reply by this Friday December 14th, those comments will be thrown into the pot and my seven-year-old daughter will draw the winners. (I’ll need your mailing address to mail them out.)
What is your favorite thing about Christmas?
Good luck and Merry Christmas! (My last post until next year!)

Michelle, a very happy birthday to you sweet lady! It is my joy to serve along side you on the Prayer council.
My favorite thing about Christmas is pausing in the hustle and bustle of it all to remember and reflect about the birth of Christ. I find great joy when I can visit with family to eat, laugh, and make new memories.
A very Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Happy Birthday. May it be special and full of love and laughter. Thank you for thinking of us at this time. My favorite thing about Christmas is stopping to take the time to realize that Jesus is the ultimate gift. And everything else is just fluff. This reminder is helpful during this busy season. I love to play the song “Mary Did You Know?” another great reminder. Merry Christmas and may you and yours keep Him close to your hearts.

Hello and happy happy birthday to you my sweet Michelle!!!! My favorite thing about Christmas is definitely the birth of my LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ…To pause and think that the Creator of the universe and everything in it was obedient unto the Father and willing to come down to us to provide a way, the ONLY way to salvation…brings tears of joy to my eyes just thinking about it…all praise to Him and I praise Him for knowing that the world needed YOU in it also…Happy Birthday sunshine!! I love you!!! Sarah
