Only 10 more days til Christmas!! It’s also the season for parties–office, friends, etc.  Does your office throw a holiday party? What about your friends, do you all get together to celebrate? Don’t forget about the White Elephant (do you allow “steals”?) and Secret Santa’s.  I love doing Secret Santa with my street team. We have a lot of fun.  I tend to go crazy with gift buying, which my family just rolls with–I’m sure they don’t mind all the presents  :-D .

Part of the whole holiday/Christmas season is spending time with loved ones, friends and taking time to relax, even at the workplace.  Tell me what parties are on your holiday schedule this year for a chance to win a swag pack. 

And don’t forget to stop by Mina Carter‘s blog. Part of our party schedule is doing the 31 Days of Christmas celebration on our blogs. Enter daily for a chance to win the grand prize of a Kindle Voyager, or $199 gift card.  All my winners will be announced on January 4, 2015 so make sure to check back to see if you’ve won!

With only 12 more days until Christmas, kids will be getting out of school soon for Christmas break, which means they’ll be home all day.  It’s also time for all the holiday movies–A Christmas Story, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, The Grinch (are you a traditionalist or do you prefer the Jim Carrey version?), It’s a Wonderful Life, Polar Express–just to name a few. One of my favorites is Elf. My son LOVES Buddy and my husband’s favorite part is where Buddy sings in the bathroom.  The whole movie is hilarious and we always make sure to watch it every year.  

What movie(s) do you and your family like to watch during the holidays? Do you watch it over and over or just a few times?  Comment below for a chance to win a fun sports bag, signed by me.

And make sure to visit Mina Carter’s blog too.  We’re celebrating this Christmas season with 31 Days of Christmas.  We’ll alternate each day with a new holiday theme and have a grand prize of a Kindle Voyager, or $199 gift card.

It’s almost Friday, and one day closer to Christmas. We’re officially 2 weeks out. Keeping with the gifting theme, my sister gave me my best gift, my worst gift came from my niece. She got me a multi-colored neon purse. It was really kind of awful.  But, it came from my niece, whom I love and adore, so I couldn’t get rid of it. About 2 years later, I finally “returned” it to my sister.  It isn’t about what you get, but just the fact that someone put thought into it. 

What was your worst Christmas gift? Comment below to be entered into today’s #giveaway, a signed copy of the Sassy Mates omnibus. And make sure to enter to #win the grand prize, a Kindle Voyager (or $199 gift card).  Don’t forget to check out Mina Carter’s blog, too–we are alternating posting each day to celebrate 31 Days of Christmas.

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.
