Christmas for YOU!



Merry Christmas!

No, Really! Merry Christmas to YOU!!!



I know I should probably wait for my 100th post, but I am too excited to wait-and it is Christmas time! I have something special I want to give away. (RIGHT NOW!)



If you've been following my blog, you might be aware of my reading addiction. I read every chance I get. I carry a book in my purse (not the Twilight ones-too heavy!) and have a magazine to read in the car (People Magazine, of course!)...You don't want to see the nightstand by the side of my bed-it is FILLED with books! Thank God I have an office here at home-it keeps my many, many books that I can't part with...



There is a Christmas series that my dear Tin Man bought for me a few years ago, as an early Christmas gift. I read them leading up to Christmas Day...and cried my eyes out! (...and sometimes it was the ugly cry! If that doesn't tell you how awesome these books are-you might not want to continue reading this...)



So- here is my gift to you this Christmas~



I am giving the Christmas Shoes series away to one of you (with a box of tissues!) if you leave a comment by midnight December 1st about this post. I will pick one comment out of a hat (I know, I am so computer Savvy!). I will post the winner by 11 a.m. on December 2nd.

(The give away includes The Christmas Shoes, The Christmas Blessing, The Christmas Hope, and The Christmas Promise AND a box of Tissues, AND -SURPRISE!-a Starbucks gift card-so you can stay awake to read all the books before Christmas Day!)



Because I love to read, and I love Christmas books, I also will be giving a "runner-up" Christmas book to the second name I draw...



("A Redbird Christmas" is by one of my favorite authors-Fannie Flagg. She is the writer of "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe" and "Can't Wait To Get To Heaven". ***I am enclosing "Can't Wait To Get To Heaven" in the runner-up prize because it is one of my top ten favorite books...)

That is such a gorgeous give-away!

I had a laugh when you said in your comment on my blog that it is 32 degrees where you are, and it's cold... It's 32 degrees here today, too, only we're hot! Something to do with that Fahrenheity thingy and the Celsius doozywhatsit. Anyhoo, hope you're rugged up and snuggly warm... I'm doing just fine by the fan;)

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! :)

I have been meaning to tell you that my friend bought me these glittery red heels - I should take a pic and show them to you. They are way cute!
