Hello my favorite people! Are you ready for some fun? *** Kari at A Good Addiction and I are constantly chatting with one another. So of course when I mentioned that I wanted to do a holiday celebration, and she was also doing a holiday celebration, we melded them into a huge Holiday Extravaganza!!! These next two weeks will be filled with authors sharing their favorite traditions, holiday recipes, and stories that come from the heart. Truth be told, I’ve read few of these posts already…and well…let’s just say that they remind me why I love this holiday season so…

Comment Craziness
It came to my attention this morning that my blog has NOT been nice to comments lately! Sorry all! I’ve fixed it, I think. I’m especially apologetic to any of you who have been trying to enter the giveaways. Obviously if it’s still not working you can’t comment to let me know…lol. If it still isn’t working for you please feel free to send me an email! Up in the “Contact Me” section is where you can find it. Thanks! UPDATE: Apparently it is now working, the comment box just loads slow. I’m working on fixing it :).

Furthermore, his education was expected to encompass Geography, Chronology, Navigation, Spherics, Astronomy, Latitude,…
