ReplyDeleteThe same to you, Trixi. Thanks for a wonderful year in Seekerville. Praising God for all the friends he has given me thanks to this blog.
DeleteAmen to that, Trixi... Oh come, let us adore him!!!
DeleteMerry Christmas and Bless all the Villagers of Seekerville. May you have a wonderful holiday season.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to everyone!
ReplyDeleteMay you all be blessed this Christmas as you celebrate the season and birth of our precious Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Cindy, special hugs. I know this will be a tough holiday. Much love to you.
DeleteMerry Christmas everyone!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Wilani. How are you feeling, dear?
DeleteGreat WE! Congratulations to all the winners. Merry Christmas! Can't wait to read another women's world story by Tina and thank you for the free download.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. Merry Christmas!
DeleteCongratulations to all of the winners.
ReplyDeleteLove the title of your next WW story, Tina...congratulations!
Myra, congratulations on your 4 start RT review!
Merry Christmas to all!
So few HQ category books get reviewed by RT anymore. So impressed Myra was! Congrats, Myra and thank you Jill for the kind words.
DeleteThanks, ladies! I was delighted when my agent sent me a copy of the review!
DeleteThe magazine with Tina's new WW story arrived in my mailbox yesterday. This issue is about to supersede the one I haven't quite gotten to yet!
Sweet Myra!
Delete😍
DeleteWoo hoo! Another Tina story coming in Woman's World!
ReplyDeleteWe DID finally get a little snow in the mountains...just enough to make the roads slick, but too dry and windblown to stick together as a snowball. But it least it LOOKED Christmasy for a short while! :)
Wishing all our Seekerville Friends a very special Christmas!
Snow! Pretty to look at, and not so pretty to drive in. Merry Christmas, Glynna Kaye!
DeleteY'all can please keep your snow on THAT side of the country, thank you very much! 😉
DeleteThis was our very first snow for the season, Myra, so we can get a little excited (like we do when monsoon season hits in July and people run to doors & windows to look out at the rain, folks at the mall food court start cheering), and people are sticking their hands out the car windows to feel it. Living in a forest that's prone to fires makes you VERY grateful for precipitation. :) ) I think this was the 9th latest first snow since records started being kept. Not that out here that's that long of a time. LOL. 1899.
DeleteGlynna, I can understand what you mean about precipitation and fire danger. It’s been a terrible year for California, Montana, and other areas.
DeleteWe are loving the snow here in WNY... and glad the freezing rain and downpours stopped in time for more snow to come yesterday... what a crazy day but so much fun for family and feasting! And not one Grinch in sight!!! :)
DeleteCongrats to Myra!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Tina for another WW story! I'm currently reading I'll Be Home for Christmas and loving it!
Merry Christmas to all!
Jackie Smith! Merry Christmas. Thank you!
DeleteThanks, Jackie! 😉🎄😍
DeleteThanks for a great WE and all of the great links that have been shared. Tina, I look forward to reading your Woman's World story and thanks for the free download of I'll Be Home for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas everyone!
Connie
Connie, you are welcome. Merry Christmas!
DeleteCograts to Myra and Tina! And all winners this week!
ReplyDelete"Merry be your Christmas,
Peaceful be your home,
Joyful be your family,
Blessed be each one."
That's a LOVELY poem, Tracey. Merry Christmas!
DeleteThank you, Tracey! Merry Christmas!
DeleteI am so happy to be here. Done with the temp job and excited about getting back into writing. Blessed. See you all on Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteKathy Bailey

Delete🎄🎁
Merry Christmas to all my Seekerville friends. May the Lord give you His peace and joy during this season when we remember His birth.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that, Barbara. Merry Christmas.

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to all at Seekerville. I am looking forward to celebrating with all my family back.
Thank you, Sandy!
Delete2018
ReplyDeleteA sea change is coming
the earth itself is quaking
A sharp wind is blowing
and cutting thru the night
soon pages will stop turning
on their quest to the end
and when the last word is written
it will start all over again.
Vince is waxing both poetic and philosophical! 😉
DeleteLove it, Vince! Merry Christmas to you and Linda.
DeleteVince, may there never be a last word written... and may you and Linda be blessed with a wonderful Christmas! We're shoveling out up here... and drinking eggnog, so I'm raising a mug in your honor!
DeleteCongratulations to everyone on everything!
ReplyDeleteTina, drove to Williams yesterday to visit the Polar Express...have you been there? There was SNOW!!!
Merry Christmas to all of Seekerville.
Blessings,
Marcia
Marcia -- Although I've ridden the train from Williams to the Grand Canyon, I've never done the Polar Express. But I have several friends who have taken their kids every year. There's also the Northpole Experience at Fort Tuthill just off I-17 in Flagstaff. You can get Package deals at Little America hotel and ride a bus so don't have to deal with parking. Friends have come up from the Valley with kids/grandkids and had a good time doing that, too.
DeleteMarcia, that sounds WONDERFUL! I'm going to go look it up.
DeleteIs it really Christmas Eve eve??? Tomorrow will be a busy day with a special worship service in the morning and then four Christmas Eve candlelight services beginning at 4 p.m. At least the traditional choir is only involved with two of those services (8 and 10 p.m.)! The singers in our church who do double duty in both traditional and the contemporary praise team are in for a looooong evening!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Seekerville!
🎄🎁❄️ ✨
Busy times, Myra! Wow. You're going to have earned a holiday!
DeleteThey do have food for musicians between services, at least. It’s just a long, long evening, even for those of us only singing at 2 services. With all the anthems plus congregational Christmas hymns, it’s a wonder anyone has a voice left at the end of the night!
DeleteCongratulations to the winners!
ReplyDeleteMERRY CHRISTMAS, Seekerville!
Merry Christmas, Caryl!!
DeleteSince I’m trying to type on my tiny phone, I’ll use Marcia’s phrase: “ Congratulations to everyone on everything!” Yay!
ReplyDeleteThe Bible verse calendar is beautiful and PERFECT! Thank you!
To all in Seekerville: Wishing you hope, love, joy, and peace this Christmas as we celebrate our Savior’s birth! Blessings!
Merry Christmas, Sherida!
DeleteAnd I forgot to say....THANK YOU, Tina, for the story! I’ve downloaded it and look forward to some fun Christmas reading time. 🌲🎁📚
DeleteAw, thanks, Sherida!
DeleteCongratulations to our winners! Looking forward to the week ahead!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Myra, on the 4 star rating! Congrats, Tina, on another WW story! Hope everyone is downloading your free story, a terrific Christmas gift!
Our family has gathered and we're having a great time! There's snow on the ground, but none on the streets. Perfect! Merry Christmas!
Janet
Thanks, Janet!
DeleteIf there has to be snow, on the ground but not in the street is the best way. Enjoy!
Thank you, Janito! Merry Christmas.
DeleteCongratulations to all the winners and authors! Merry Christmas everyone!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy New Year, Phyllis.
DeleteI've got Claiming Her Cowboy right on the table beside me, Tina!!! I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks, Mary.
DeleteCongratulations to all the winners! Doing quite a bit of final shopping today, but I'll be popping in all weekend to read the great links.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to everyone!
Merry Christmas, Kelly. Got snow in Michigan??
DeleteWishing everyone a peaceful and faith-filled Christmas weekend... What a precious time of year to be our best versions of ourselves.... Merry Christmas to this beautiful village of family and friends.
ReplyDeleteAnd a very MERRY CHRISTmas to all in this wonderful village.
