Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go?
Silent Night. Holy Night.
Except it's not that way for those who have lost loved ones, not for those who worry knowing they have extended their credit cards trying to create a memory that will be worth it. I haven't ever done the overspending for Christmas but definitely have known the times of great joy and those of nostalgia and a sadness about what no longer is.
Because of the long nights (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), it is a season to go within-- when there is time amongst the many holiday events. I've written before about this and only have one thing to add here, where we are on the road in a travel trailer with four cats-- I hope whatever your expectations are for this season, you have warmth and a good feeling as your companion whether with family or alone with Christmas music and maybe holiday themed movies.
For me, the big thing is the Solstice, which this year was just a day before the full moon. It means we're over the hump and the light is coming back-- gradually.
Don't forget the Christmas books on sale-- alongside here. 99¢ until right after Christmas :)
In Diana's Journey, she is not looking forward to Christmas but Bluff, Utah has a surprise waiting for her.
Helena wants to bring her family together, which includes her husband's estranged family. Is Christmas, with all its pressures, the right time? Phillip doesn't agree. A Montana Christmas looks at all that the season might mean.
Frederica came to Arizona to find her daughter before Christmas. She finds a lot more. Christmas in this book is in the future with a family willing to welcome all to their loving arms. Frederica's Outlaw
In Rose's Gift, she is widowed and has not imagined a romance might be in store-- how about a stepdaughter and grandson?
Priscilla wants to make special for two people who have never know a warm time where it came to that season. The Marshal's Lady

I found this book enjoyable this time of year. I appreciated that it was a nice break from the rush because it was a short read.
A good and happy Christmas to you and your family Rain. This festive time of the year brings sadness as well as happiness as the news comes in on cards. But that is a part of our lives as well.
So ring out the bells, rejoice we have passed the shortest day of the year and hopefully spring will be on the horizon in a few months.
We think we will be in an RV park near Bakersfeld by Christmas Eve and stay there over Christmas Day-- if the travel goes well. It will seem weird, but we were alone last year anyway at the farm. The kids have other plans and don't like driving out there, I guess
