Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

I am so proud. MY most favoritest guy in the world is on the COVER of my alumni magazine . . . and writes about his experiences as an African-American journalist covering Obama. He is my best friend from college . . . and I knew him way back when we used to stand outside in the snow and talk politics until my teeth chattered so bad I couldn't speak. I love him!

Oldest daughter has a 3.58(!) GPA her first semester. Just have to brag for no other reason than I have to brag.

And two people came up to me recently at the church I attend and pressed food gift cards into my hand and said I would get them to people who need it. I was blown away. In my experience, Santa is everywhere if you just look.

Merry Christmas. Oh . . . and if you want to give a gift that takes a second--VOTE FOR EDIE! Frequent blog visitor and recent blog guest is in Round II folks! This is the last week for the second round of the American Title V contest. This round is about heroes and heroines. You can see our entries on the Romantic Times website. Voting is easy. Just send a blank email with the title of the book in the subject line (ex: DEAD PEOPLE) to votes@romantictimes.com. The last day of voting for this round is Dec. 28.

Peace, love, happiness, Santa, music . . . and in the words of my favorite Christmas carol . . . have yourself a merry little Christmas!

Merry Christmas Erica (and all of your family)! That's great about Oldest Daughter. College can be scary that first semester but now that she knows she can do it, the rest should be easy. :)

Have a wonderful holiday!

Merry Christmas!

I'm an INTJ on the Jungian test, btw, but you probably already knew that. :)

Way back! Everything's relative. My "way back" and your "way back" are not the same.

Blessings to you and your family.

LOL! I forget about that sometimes. Seems way back to me.

Of course, my friend Joe hasn't aged a day. Still a handsome devil.

Erica, how fabulous that oldest daughter is doing so well. You have the best kids. And they have the best mom!

Thanks so much for the shout out! That's a great Christmas gift for me. :)

Happy holidays to you and your family.

We are already in the midle of Christmas day over here and it's fine and sunny. Soon we'll be leaving with the turkey I've just cooked and presents to go to my sisters where all 16 of us will congregate to celegrate Xmas.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. And congratulations to your daughter. That number means nothing to me, but I'm sure it's a great score.
