Marking our Christmas tree with a flag!
Good morning, friends. Yes, I'm still lurking about the blogosphere. I've been taking it easy, though. I haven't been online that much. I'm trying to relax this month when it comes to net stuff since October and November were so incredibly busy. So don't think I've forgotten about you if I haven't visited your blog in a little while. I want to set up a regular schedule for myself starting in the new year for blog posts and blog visiting.
I finished a supernatural western Christmas short story for my local critique group meeting this Saturday. Now I'm working on my first round of revisions for one of my WIPs. I hope to get it out to my CPs at the latest by the end of January.
Don't forget to enter to win a copy of The 13th Floor Complete Collection! You can also find more freebies and raffles this month with 'Tis More Blessed. Treat yourself.
I used to love picking out the Christmas tree! Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday season. Good luck with your WIPs and looking forward to reading more by you.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to take a blog rest, especially at this time of year when it's quiet. I need to set up a better schedule for next year too.
ReplyDeleteHi Christine .. lovely to see your son marking his tree! That's the way to do it - you'll have such a fun time with him .. excitement all around. So enjoy being off-line for a while! Cheers and happy pre Christmas life with a little one .. cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteDitto on the better schedule for next year! Enjoy your break and your family!
ReplyDeleteIt was good to see your marking the tree. He looked so happy.
ReplyDeleteI already have your 13th Floor collection so I'm not entering. I'd like to give some copies of my book away, so I'll have to find out how.
Have a wonderful Christmas.
A supernatural western Christmas story? That's a wild mix!
ReplyDeleteWon't be online much the second half of the month either.
You deserve a rest! Plus, you have a cutey-pie at home to help you celebrate in style. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such an adorable picture. What a cutie!
ReplyDeleteA blog break sounds fabulous! Hope you enjoy it, and the holidays!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the revisions. I'm doing approximately one post a week. Just posted some wintery pix on my blog--it's faster than a written post and fun.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your down time.
ReplyDeleteWe all need to recharge out batteries. January will be here soon.

I love picking out the Christmas tree every year!
ReplyDeleteBut then, it's stored in a box in the basement, so it makes it easy to choose...
;)
But while the tree is artificial, the memories, and traditions, and family love in all the decorations on it are 100% real!
Good luck with your WIP edits and have a wonderful Christmas!
Cute picture! I've never been out to pick a real tree before. We've always had the artificial ones. And it's good to take a break sometimes. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break! We just picked out our tree yesterday. The kids had so much fun!
ReplyDeletePicking out a tree is so much fun when the kids are little. You deserve to take it easy.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute pic! Enjoy your down time!
ReplyDeleteThank you all! We're having fun with all the holiday preparations and events. Big school feast this week and a book exchange. I hope you're having a wonderful week. :)
ReplyDeleteWe just got our tree last night - I made my daughter stand guard over it while I scoped out the place to make sure it was the one I wanted. Have a Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteYour son looks truly delighted with the tree. I bet he'll be even more excited to decorate it. Wishing you a warm and joyous holiday season! :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo, almost a bit mischievous with that red flag.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes only have time to lurk, too. It's not always easy to find time to escape to the blogosphere!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, good lock completing your revisions by the end of January! Will keep my fingers crossed that you finish 'em sooner rather than later... :)
Hi, Christine. Enjoy your time with your family.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy New Year!
