I’ve decided to shelve all serious writing for the rest of the year. There is so much life stuff to do: baking, wrapping gifts, cooking, drinking mulled wine, watching holiday movies, and spending time with family and friends. Oh, and organizing my writing schedule and goals for 2014. Fear not! I’ll still be hanging around Ye Olde WordPress, posting easy and feather-light things. Like this:
Ghost Tree
The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus by L. Frank Baum
The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus by L. Frank Baum
“Claus held fast and the next moment was flying so swiftly over the snow that he could not see the trees as they whirled past. Up hill and down dale, swift as an arrow shot from a bow they dashed, and Claus shut his eyes to keep the wind out of them and left the deer to find their own way.”

I am taking a break from writing tonight to decorate my house for the holidays. Here’s Clara Bow, enjoying a similar kind of evening.

Give me some Penguin Books swag, sit back, and watch the magic unfold.

We spent Christmas Day at my grandparents’ house with my extended family. Up and back in one day, a smooth drive, no worries. We had no idea that, whilst we were opening gifts and eating entirely too much decadent food, a blizzard was traveling this way. It is here now, and I wish that I could say it is as pretty as a picture. It isn’t, so I am leaving you with these lovely paintings instead. Please look at them to your heart’s content; I will be off in the corner munching on left-over cookies and writing my blogging game plan for 2013. See you tomorrow!

“And it was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! And so, as Tiny Tim observed, God Bless Us, Every One!”-Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
