I can hardly believe Christmas has come and gone. Usually by the day after Christmas, I take down my Christmas tree.

ANNOUNCEMENT |Winners of December 16th Giveaway…

Hello…I know everyone has been waiting for my announcement of who won on Sunday. But first I want to say that I enjoyed all the Christmas memories that were shared. It is so important to go back in time and try and pull out those memories, for me, it is a happy place in my life–and I like to go there from time to time.

I decided I would include a photo of myself, my two brothers, and my sister when I was a little girl, and share one of my memories….

Christmas 1966

A fond memory I had was when I was living in Swanville, Maine as a little girl, looking out the kitchen window, out into the field of darkness…only to see, Rudolph, lighting Santa’s way! That’s right, or we assumed it  was Rudolph,  as we could see a light that only his nose could put off as bright as that, hopping all about in the field. :-) Then a knock on the door…I never saw Santa, but I remember being told it was Santa.  I remember running to hide behind my mother’s apron.  But, I’m certain it was Rudolph!

 

Okay, what you all have been waiting for…

The Grand Prize Winner of The Christmas Secret, a $25 Amazon Gift Card, and Two Merck Family Old World Christmas Ornaments is…

Linda Mitchell-Storer

And….

The winner of a paperback copy of The Christmas Secret and a bar of my favorite Organic Chocolate is….

Karen Phillips

And my Christmas gift to everyone else… On Sunday, December 23rd, all my ebooks are going to be available “free” on Kindle for one day only!

I wish you all a Blessed Christmas, and a Happy, Healthy, New Year!

Welcome to The Genre Favorites Blogfest, hosted by Ninja Captain, Alex Cavanaugh. For this blog hop, we are to tell you what our favorite genre of music, movies, and books are and then add a little guilty pleasure secret.
First, I want to thank Alex and everyone for stopping by!
Also,  I wanted to invite you over to Sherry Ellis’s, Mama Diaries, she is participating in this blogfest, but also, she has so graciously invited me for an interview and I am her guest through Sept. 19th.  I am giving away one of my books “Crying Bear” to a commenter at her blog. http://www.sherryellis.blogspot.com/ So please stop by and visit Mama Diaries!
Then, if you comment here today, you get another chance to win a copy (your choice) of one of my books, and an XL Hershey’s Chocolate bar, and six I Heart Cookies postcards– noted in the picture below.

This looks like an incentive to comment to me!

NEWS & UPDATES
For all those who have not gone to my “new” recipe food blog “The Recipe Weekly” I invite you to stop by today and peruse the recipes and articles. It is still under development, but I’m excited at how the background theme seems to be just perfect for  a recipe blog and The Recipe Weekly– and  the response through the viewership of The Recipe Weekly has been awesome thus far. At The Recipe Weekly you will find recipes, cooking tips, health and nutrition information and articles, and giveaways from time to time too!  Sign-up for updates while visiting my food blog.
http://www.therecipeweekly.com Having been a food blogger and recipe developer for ten years on The Lowfat Weekly, I had the opportunity to interview doctors, nurses, even Eggland’s Best Nutritionist, and I am bringing all this information over time to The Recipe Weekly. Read more about The Recipe Weekly by clicking here.
To submit a recipe to The Recipe Weekly for possible publication on the website send your Tried & True Recipes to:
recipesubmission [at] therecipeweekly [dot] com.
If your recipe is chosen,  we will contact you for a photo of the dish, or you making it, and details on submission.
Now to the questions Alex wanted us to answer…
and don’t forget to hop on over to someone else’s blog on the list below, after you leave mine.
My favorite genre of movies: Romance –  My favorite movies of all are comedic romance and second would be western romances.
Favorite genre music: Country – Country music is definitely my favorite genre of music. I always feel that the words in country music hit home.
Favorite book genre: Romance – Romance novels of course! When I want to step-away from reality a little bit, romance novels are definitely a pleasure.
Guilty pleasure: Hmm! I’m not telling!!! Tee-Hee! My downfall is sweets…especially chocolate. For me sitting down with a couple of candy bars and a good romance novel or movie is the ultimate in guilty pleasure!
What’s yours?  Let me hear below favorite movie, music, book, and guilty pleasure genre.
Now start commenting!
 

Friday check back to see who won my swag pack for the blogfest and at the Mama Diaries giveaway!
Hugs,
-Virginia
