It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

If you're hard at work writing your next novel this time of year, you're more dedicated than me...  Christmas is my favorite time of the year.

In my hometown, there's a Christmas tree fundraiser for the Special Olympics, to which area businesses donate and auction off decorated trees. They're all displayed in the lobby of a local hotel...

And they try to cover everybody's potential tastes, like this one for Star Wars fans: your very own Darth Vader tree, light saber included...

Or for the glam girl in your life, there's the jewelry tree...

For the outdoors-y type, there's the reindeer tree...

And for holiday revelers, there's the wine tree and the liquor tree...

But for me, none beats the Grinch tree, because when he realized the true spirit of Christmas, his heart grew three sizes that day!  Even his dog Max seems happy at the transformation.

The auction of the trees raised more than $20,000 for Special Olympics, ensuring a Merry Christmas all around!

I hope your holidays are filled with family and friends, good food and fun presents!  See you next year.

Merry Christmas!

In honor of the holiday, here are some Christmas photos. First, our Christmas tree. I love it.

Next is the tree from Rockefeller Center, in New York City. Isn't that beautiful? We witnessed a proposal on the ice skating rink, which was fun.

I love the decorations at the Tiffany store on Fifth Avenue in NYC. Here's an example:

People enjoy the holiday in many different ways. Here are New Yorkers skating at Bryant Park.

And here we are enjoying the Boston Pops Christmas show, which is wonderful and you should definitely go if you ever get the chance.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our Fierce Romance followers!
