Merry Christmas

Oh, holy night, I've been busy. So sorry to be missing in action, but I'm sure you can understand and forgive me neglecting my blog. Book release, blog tours, trying to prepare to move (ugh) and the holidays makes for a very busy Karen.

I hope you all have a fabulous holiday. Eat, drink, and be merry!

Then meet me back here after Christmas because I'm gonna do some fun after-Christmas giveaways.

I leave you with this final heart-warming classic holiday quote. (I'm sure all of you can relate in some way or another. ;)

"Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny f*#@ing Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white a## down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of a##holes this side of the nuthouse."

    If you could see the street, you'd realize that I live next door to Clark Griswold. I wish I was joking.

    Oh, the Christmas joy! ha, love that quote.
    I took a pix of the Winter Solstice sunrise this morning. That made me happier than the rest of what's happening.
    Hope you have a good holiday, Karen. You've earned a little R&R.

    I love the Clark Griswold quote. My husband and I love to watch that movie and unfortunately my husband thinks he is Clark when it comes to putting up the Christmas lights. Happy New Year and best of luck with your book release. Congratulations.
