I don't know about you, but I can't believe how fast December is flying by! Saturday we had our first snowfall of the year. I love snow up until January 2, then I'm ready for it to go. But it usually doesn't until mid-April, although we do have a couple of thaws over the winter months.

I want to remind everyone to visit Amish Living. I know many of you have joined, and its growing into a wonderful community. Check out the forums for some great articles and posts about simple ways to celebrate the season and favorite holiday tradtions. Also, don't forget to visit my website to enter the gift card contest. The contest runs until December 10, and I'll be announcing the winner on the 12th. If you've purchased one of my books or anthologies as a gift, I'm sending out bookplates and bookmarks. If you'd like one, please send me your snail mail address and I will send those out asap.

Here's a little Christmas cheer for you--Beth, Barbara, Amy, and I have been "Elfed".
