The authors of Addictive Reads have once again joined together to offer readers a great holiday event. We each have blogs in which we’re talking about our favorite things. Even better, many of us are giving away individual prizes in addition to the big group prize (yes, it’s a Kindle Fire!). So here goes!
1. Holiday parties! I love getting together with family and friends, in small or large gatherings, to talk and be merry. We get so busy during the year and lose touch with people. The holidays give us a chance to rekindle old friendships.
2. Marshmallow Santas – I love those little Russel Stover marshmallow Santas! Especially the ones with caramel in them. Yumm.
3. Walking at night when there are just a few snowflakes falling and everyone has their Christmas lights on. The sky is so bright; it looks almost like daytime, but much prettier since everything twinkles.
4. Christmas trees – I have ornaments of all kinds. Some were made by my kids when they were little. Others were gifts. All are special to me. I’ll add some photos once I get them out of the box. No, my tree still isn’t decorated as I write this blog. Shame on me.
5. Holiday treats – my mother makes the best holiday treats. Two of them are my favorites: my grandmother’s molasses cookies and peanut butter chocolate balls. The latter are especially sinful!
6. Christmas songs – I’m not one of those people who starts listening to Christmas music as soon as the plates are cleared on Thanksgiving Day. However, I do enjoy listening to Christmas music when I’m doing Christmasy things like wrapping presents, baking, and of course, on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
I particularly enjoy this version of Mary Did You Know by Pentatonix.
7. Christmas movies – yes, I know most are sappy Hallmark movies, but that’s what we need at this time of the year. Give me a feel-good HEA during the holidays, and I’m a happy camper! I have so many favorites – maybe I should have done a top ten favorite Christmas movie post. Hmm… maybe I will. ๐
Elf is actually one of my favorite holiday movies. It’s hilarious!
8. Christmas romances – I don’t have a single favorite Christmas romance novel. I just love the genre. Every year, I make sure to read a few. They are always so much fun, and of course, since I read romance, they always end well.
9. Children’s Christmas story – my favorite children’s Christmas story is by far The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. I love Dr. Seuss, and so I loved reading this one to my kids. Honestly, they were just the excuse. I know I was really reading it for myself. LOL.
10. Spending Christmas Day in pajamas, drinking hot chocolate and watching Christmas movies with my husband and kids!

Hey, Kristine–I love so many of your favorite things. ๐ Especially the Christmas movies. I overdosed a bit last week during my cold…probably watched about 10 in 3 days on Netflix. ABC Family has some good ones, even if every once in awhile I come across a cheesy one.
Kristine Cayne
Thank you, Stacey. I'll have to check those out. I've got Netflix too. Maybe this weekend!
