I actually like the blog tours, though by the end, I'm glad to be "home." <br /><br />Amelia, growing up, my parents had a tradition where after Christmas Eve dinner, we'd turn out EVERY light, light candles, and listen to Dad read the Nativity gospel. It was story hour by any other name, and we were programmed to calm down as a result. The candle light was a very nice touch, too. <br /><br />Terra S, I would vote for you for President, except that's a thankless miserable task in the best of times. Thanks for coming by with some cheer, and some cheering--we can all use it.<br /><br />Amanda, thanks, because if I listed ALL of my wishes, I'd be hogging the blog into next year.Grace Burroweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10423158693892768033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-50909928379803444962011-12-19T19:17:07.869-05:002011-12-19T19:17:07.869-05:00Grace, I absolutely adored this post.

Your writing is from a romantic's point of view and not just the slap and tickle erotica that some like and that where a line needs to be drawn clearer in the world of Romance Novels.<br />I am not a writer but do reviews and I refuse to write a negative review. Authors work to hard and long to have their work ripped apart and discouraged. Kudos to all of you gals with your patience, perseverence and hard work!!!!!<br />One of my Christmas wishes would be for all of you authors to get your due for making our lives a bit easier to cope with in a world that is far to hard and dangerous. Blessings for a wonderful 2012 and Merry Christmas to all.<br />huggs,<br />Terra Studer<br />Yankee Romance ReviewersTerra57https://www.blogger.com/profile/02745416346240849950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-60337776013651974142011-12-19T15:48:30.642-05:002011-12-19T15:48:30.642-05:00Grace, like most people this time of year, I'v...Grace, like most people this time of year, I've been extremely busy and at times flustered.

Decisions, decisions. I so ...Excellent post, Grace! Decisions, decisions. I so agree! I have found that the huge guest blog tour has helped new readers to learn about my work, and it has kept my sales ranking in the best seller list on Amazon, at least. But it's been a lot of work, particularly when Christmas is coming and my daughter's getting married again. First one was the unfancy one this summer, this is the fancy one, the 2nd weekend in Jan. So sometimes we just have to take a break and be with family, leave all the writing behind for a a little bit. (I'll be getting up SUPER early in the morning to comment on guest blog posts the whole time they visit...just can't leave it all behind. LOL)Terry Spearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788961423817944896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-13178263729144675122011-12-19T12:43:21.561-05:002011-12-19T12:43:21.561-05:00Listen to Grace.

I'm also excited that we're coming into contest season - I received my Golden Heart judging packets late last week and have already had a couple of GREAT reads!Tamara Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248676173138017003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-81289061740325363012011-12-19T11:47:36.250-05:002011-12-19T11:47:36.250-05:00Shana--I do wonder where that partridge and a pear...Shana--I do wonder where that partridge and a pear tree routine came from.
