So… did you give away any books for the holidays? Did you receive any?

I gave my sister some books on how to Feng …
Here it is, Thursday December 27th, and I’m wondering what to do. Should I start one of my holiday resolutions early? Yeah, that’s it: Go on the big diet just before New Year’s Eve! Or start writing the next Devil’s book when I’m sure William’s son …

The shopping is nearly finished. I haven’t wrapped a thing, but the house is all decorated.
So time to think about the baking…well I was considering trying some new cookies, and not doing the usual candies and cookies that I bake.
Right, you’d think I set fire …
