I can’t believe how the months have just flown by. My boss and best pal, Skye Drake is busy adding the final touches to her partner’s annual Christmas party – Christmas!! That’s right. It’s for the Dental Association, Nick’s a dentist you know, and this year they wanted something very special, like only Make It Happen can whip up. That’s our business and Skye’s an event planner with some dynamite ideas. I’m busy these days with a conference and an anniversary, more than enough to keep me going.
And then there are family plans for Thanksgiving and of course, followed by Christmas. The gang will be at Mom and Dad’s again this year. In fact, I’ll go down a couple of weekends beforehand and give them a hand with the decorating, more because I don’t like to miss out than them really needing the help.
And then there's my dinner club, the Culinary Capers, to plan for. And Ty Devine -- I wonder what plans he's making!
It’s a busy time of year for everyone and the next couple of months will happen way too quickly. Each year I think I’d like to slow it all down and get more enjoyment out of the planning part. Odd for me, an event planner, to be saying that, I know.
How about you? Are you getting in the spirit even though there’s a few weeks to go?
My author has come up with some early holiday spirit-making. Next month, we’re taking our usual blog day off and our good friend Daryl Wood Gerber will be here with some of her new characters, plus a giveaway. So, we’re getting the spirit going with our own giveaway this month
.
Also, it’s because we’re counting down the months until Marinating With Murder is available, in March. So, to get you caught up in your Dinner Club Mysteries reading, leave a comment about holiday plans for a chance to win your choice of the first two: Toasting Up Trouble or Roux the Day. The draw will happen on Wednesday at 6PM EST. And, it’s open to U.S. and Canada.
Please be sure to leave your email address!
Happy holiday reading!
