Merry Holidays, or Happy Christmas?

There was a time when everyone said, Merry Christmas, and it was 'politically correct'. Now a days, we have changed it to 'Happy Holidays' to spare the smorgasbord of nationalities and religions that come from around the world.

Is it technology that has made us more aware of the differences, or is it that we are packed so tightly into our social communities that we have to compromise?

I, for one, don't mind. It's only when I trip over my words and start with Merry, ending up with Holidays, or perhaps Happy, then Christmas.

It's been ingrained in me for over fifty years. Please forgive me if I don't get it right. This old dog is learning.

Regardless of which way it's said, the sentiment is the same. Have a wonderful holiday week when friends and family come together in the spirit of love and friendship. There is nothing like it.

Be safe, don't drink and drive, and watch out for reindeer.

When heroes beat the odds.

Cancer! There, I said it. Having had it myself, I know the fear and pain associated with it, however, I beat it 26 years ago. Now, I've known and lost so many people from the disease, that I stopped counting long ago. Cancer affects everyone. If you haven't had it, you probably know someone who has, or does. My beautiful niece just shaved her head to beat the balding that happens during Chemo. She's beautiful with or without hair. Taking it one day at a time and never giving up the fight is the only way to beat it, or pass on, knowing that you did your best to win. This disease is the worst! Have you ever read a book where the hero or heroine had to battle disease? Do they win in the end, or fade like a blossom? The best thing about writing is that your characters can overcome any challenge. My psychic ability characters have ultimate skills that will keep you enthralled. It's great to be able to live in a world for a short time where magic-like skills keep people

To blog, or not to blog is the question. How many of you spend a lot of time putting thoughts to computer daily? I'm unfortunately not one of them as I tend to spend a ton of my day editing and creating book covers for a number of people, or publishers. This doesn't mean that I don't want to touch base and blog with you all, but sometimes I need a nudge to remember. How often do you have to have people remind you it's time to do something. I require it all the time. lol Don't be shy. Please give me a nudge if you want to hear from me. It's not that I've forgotten you, it's that I've forgotten myself. Happy reading.

Hi Everybody, It’s my pleasure to be here and I’m super excited to hang out with Franny on her blog. Pretty sweet, right? My name is Angela K Roe and I write contemporary romance. My Walkers Ridge Romance series consists of This Montana Man , My Favorite Things , and Two Times the Love , and it takes place in a small town in Montana and has been compared to Debbie Macomber’s Cedar Cove series. (Seriously, the first time someone said that to me, I almost fainted) The series is a trilogy. Each is a complete story on it’s own with some of the same characters woven through all three books. So you get to catch up on your favorite townsfolk. In addition to the Walkers Ridge Romance series, I’ve got a contemporary traditional erotica romance called Hogs & Heartaches , which takes place in Sturgis SD during the annual bike rally. It’s what I call a Spicy Romance. I have a second contemporary traditional erotica coming out soon and I’d love to share some information with yo
