Christmas Quote of the Day

Not to get too political, but it was beginning to look a lot like this grinch was trying to steal Christmas!

Perhaps his heart grew three sizes today. Or maybe just a half size. At any rate, he showed he has some Christmas Spirit. :)

In other Christmas news, Neiman Marcus has unveiled their 2013 Christmas catalog. It contains beautiful gifts for over one million dollars, like a $1.5 million waterproof, outdoor home theatre system, perfect for watching Christmas movies in the SNOW! (Christmas movies and snow not included.)

Looks like the super wealthy have found a way around Daddy's prerequisite to be Nice all year.

The rest of us know that Santa's on his way. He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh. But if you don't want to wait, the publishing industry has launched the Christmas season today with Super Thursday, releasing a bunch of cool books.

No actual Christmas books per se on that list. But here's a jolly one that's sure get your Christmas in gear...

Have a merry weekend! :D

Merry Anniversary to Me

I can't believe it. 'Twas one year ago today the elves released my debut book....

A big candy-cane hug to everyone on the Nice List who enjoyed it last year. I hope you plan to make it part of an annual Yuletide tradition.

They say Christmas is coming earlier this year, but my dad assures me it's still going to be on December 25.

However, it is true that Hanukkah is coming ridiculously early this year (like, before Thanksgiving!), and that 1 in 3 Jewish Americans puts up a Christmas tree!

So hurry up and get yourself ready for Christmas before it's too late, with the book critics called "a Christmas favorite to be read year after year."

And have a Merry October! :D
