Time Is Up

The frenetic hours of shopping are almost over as we get closer to the lighting of candles for Hanukkah and for Christmas.

There is a deadline for everything: even the Empire State Building in its Christmas and candy cane motif turns off at 2am. So does the big tree in Rockefeller Center. Darkness. Time to re-group and re-invigorate....or just totter home to sleep off the time at the bar.

Is it worth it? You tell me. I remember the rewarding smiles and screams that meant the gift "nailed it." I also remember the polite Thank You and later call asking if it would be all right to return it. That certainly pushes one to give gift cards or cash, doesn't it?

I offered the first book in The Dream King's Courier series free in the past weeks hoping to gain traction going into the holidays, but also hoping to give you some escape from the stress of the holidays. If you took advantage you are brilliant and I ask you to write a review. If you didn't, keep watching. There will be one more shortly.

Watch holiday lights and enjoy the promise they offer. Revel in family and friends and remember you are the glue that keeps them coming back to you.
