I love living in NYC, especially during the holidays. There is all kinds of magic in the air. There’s the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade, lighting of the tree at Rockefeller Center, the decorations in Macy’s in Time Square.  Spending time with my family is super important to me.  We don’t usually make it to the official tree lighting, but we do go down to Rockefeller Center and see all the lights and sights and doing some shopping.  One of our favorite things to do while we’re there is to get some of the best hot chocolate ever in Bryant Park.

How does your town/city/area celebrate the magic of the holidays? Tell me and be entered to #win a signed sports pack bag.  And don’t forget Mina Carter & I are celebrating Christmas by giving YOU gifts. We are alternating days with fun posts on our blogs. So, remember to stop by each day and enter to win the grand prize: A Kindle Voyager or $199 gift card.  All winners will be announced on January 4, 2015.

What are you wishing for this year? My list wish is really short this year, because it’s a big one.  I really want a new house…and we are house hunting.  It can be a long process, but we’re having fun. I don’t think we’ll be in the new house before the end of the year, but hopefully by this time next year I’ll be putting decorations up in our new digs.

To be entered in today’s #giveaway, leave me a comment with what you’re hoping is under the tree this year.   Today’s winner will receive a signed copy of Scent of a Mate.  Don’t forget to enter to #win the grand prize: the new Kindle Voyage, or $199 gift card.

Happy Hump Day! As you know, Mina Carter & I are celebrating Christmas by giving YOU gifts. We are alternating days with fun posts on our blogs.

Today, let’s talk about holiday shopping. Some people love it, some people dread it and will wait until the very last second to get it all done.  I’m one of those who loves to get it done early, so I can enjoy other parts of the holiday season, especially spending time with my family.  However, this year, I’ve been running a bit behind.  I did a lot of shopping over Black Friday/Thanksgiving weekend and hope to finish up all my shopping this coming weekend.

To be entered in today’s #giveaway, leave me a comment telling me how you handle holiday shopping. Do you love being out and about or do you prefer to stay in and shop online?  Are there any procrastinators out there who wait until the last minute?  Today’s winner will receive a swag pack.  Don’t forget to enter to #win the grand prize: A Kindle Voyager or $199 gift card.

All winners will be announced here on the blog January 4, 2015.

To get things started, lets talk about holiday travel. Do you stay home or do you travel?  If you travel, do you drive, fly or other?  Usually, we stay local. But, this year I am super excited. My husband and I are taking our son to Disney. I cannot wait! Fingers crossed for no major delays or bad travel weather. 

Today’s #giveaway will be a signed sports pack, all you have to do to enter is leave a comment below with your answers about your holiday travel plans.
