Season’s Greetings! Working on your cooking and wrapping and cleaning and…trying to catch your breath?
Me too, except I’m also trying to finish Explosive before Christmas, and tearing my hair out in the process.
Tell me how your holiday season is going? Any highlights? Any low points? What are you looking forward to?
Me? I just want Santa to leave me a finished novel before Dec. 25.
Please Santa?
Leave a comment on any blog entry this week, and I’ll choose one winner this Friday. I’ll send the winner a copy of Janet Chapman’s Highlander Christmas from Amazon!

Hi Beth!
I hope Thomas starts co-operating with you which will lead to a speady finish to Explosive before Christmas Day. 😀
High point: My son arrived in with a flurry of excitement from university last night. The wrapping is all but done and I’ve got some of the baking done.
Low point: Still at work but looking forward to being off Christmas Eve onward.
Thinking of you every day.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Beth.

Hey Beth! I hope you get your book done! Fingers and toes crossed 😛
My high point and low point are sort of rolled into one. I was all done shopping, had gone through all of the gifts to figure out what was from Santa and what was from my husband and I to the kids. Had them all hidden in the basement. Only to find out my oldest son (who is almost 11) found the gifts, and told his brother (who is 9) that he found them all and what they were! The oldest is really pretty sure there is no Santa, but the 9 year old was still on the fence. And of course the 5 and 4 year olds still believe. So, I had to go out and buy all new stuff, and my sister is buying all of the gifts they found, to keep them on their toes. If I had put all that out, they would have both known for sure there is no Santa, and I want my middle son to get at least one more year out of it!
Kids, they can make a person crazy!! 👿

Hope you get all your writing done in time to enjoy christmas without complete panic:).
High point for me, eating Frankfurters at the German Market that sets up each year in the city.
Low point , still having loads of shoping to do, and making sure I stay calm.

The low point for me is the SHOPPING! Don’t get me wrong, I love to shop. But I’ll go into the store, determined, with a list of people to buy for, and SOME HOW forget someone! I don’t know how it happens! Blows my mind, it really does 😉
But, really, its all high points. It really is 🙂

We had our big family celebration yesterday, so the pace is pretty low key and relaxed from now on.
Great contest prize, Beth, this is one of my favorite series.

I started late this year, so my house and my mind are hectic 🙂 I finished cookies yesterday – which is the high point. But today I have men working on my staircase, and you know men, everything will be dirty and I’ll have to clean whole house again – definitely low point.
Hope Santa brings you finished book so you can relax on Christmas 😆

Hi Beth,
Here in France we have a lot of snow (I mean much more than usual). It’s cold and grey outside, so I’m spending a LOT of time in my house… that is, in my kitchen. I’ve been baking cookies (cranberry almond biscotti just yesterday)… one of the reasons I LOVE winter 😉

I am not having a good holiday season. All though all the baking is done. I still need to wrap. And the expensive gift I got for my darling hubby that arrived today is wrong!!!! And customer service was so blase about it and said oooops nothing we can do.
UGH. Not a happy camper right now…LOL
Hope everyone else’s holiday is better.
Happy Holiday
