Merry Christmas!!

Sounds like a good way to spend Christmas!

yeah, we do not bother trying to eat out on Christmas Eve. We usually go to my mother's for the evening and there is free food. lol

I used to enjoy trying to figure out where the gifts were hidden. I wasn't too concerned with what was in the boxes. That I could wait for. There was a canoe in our basement and one year the presents were in it. lol

Every single year we wrap gifts Christmas Eve night - my husband says it's because Santa leaves presents under the tree that night ... but inreality it's because we're procrastinators too!

This year though - there's presents already wrapped and underneath 1 whole week in advance!

I am usually last minute, too, hoping someone else will do it. Amazingly I am on time this year!

I was going to do these two questions in my catch-up post last night until I was like, I have no idea what my answer is. lol I must think on this!

I have never heard of the Puppini Sisters. I will have to take a look!

I wish someone would buy me tickets to musicals. I would have to live where there are some first, though. lol

I am on doing some catch-up. My net is crap lately. :( I watched Muppet Family Christmas on YouTube one year. lol I need to get it on DVD or something. I really liked that one when I was young.

How fun! I love Amy Grant's Christmas album too. Excellent Christmas choices!

I wanted to mention that I’m hosting a Christmas read-along called "A Literary Christmas" on my blog this year. If you sign-up, you can link to all your holiday book posts on the linky!

That all looks great!!! I am not much of a baker... (Because I burn everything!) Or tea drinker for that matter. lol

I love watching Polar Express every year with the kids. We do this while putting ornaments on the tree.

I can't find my copy of Muppet Christmas Carol and I am really sad about it!

Enjoy your books!

The animals bought me Prismacolor coloured pencils for Christmas!! I am so excited!

Yay for tea recommendations! I love tea and love trying new varieties.

lol We made the questions and I hated this one, too. Let's leave it off if we do this next year. lol Love your answers, though!

When I was making this question, I was like I'LL BE INSPIRED BY THE TIME I HAVE TO ANSWER IT!!!! IT WON'T BE SO BAD. I think I spent a good four or five hours working on that one post! So yes, if we do this again next year, leave off this question, we will :)

I have no idea what to get anyone this year. Hopefully I figure something out. lol

I guess I should have done two in one for today, but done now. lol

I am not familiar with that album, so I will have to listen. I have enjoyed Amy Grant's Christmas album as my first 'go to' for years. Mary's Song is beautiful.

This made me laugh out loud! Thank you, it is brilliant

Katy, I fear for you, I really do. The writing bug is in there somewhere, latched on to your DNA. You already have the jollity gene and the character chromosome, add those to the plotter and planner personality trait and you&#39;ve had it. <br />Thanks for the giggle :)<br />

She is SO DOOMED. Should I share this with the family and endure it being quoted back at me? Nooooo!

Love this so much! :-)

Brilliant - Katy! Still laughing here!

I&#39;m so glad to see the twelve days of Christmas is here again this year! This post really made me laugh - I&#39;m looking forward to the rest.

Maybe you could turn this wrangling business into an actual business? You could be that person that all writers hope their agent will be and are then bitterly disappointed when it turns out the agent has to, like, sell books and stuff instead.

I love this, even if I am mildly offended...

So horrible true! Fantastic post, am definitely not sharing with my hubby...x

Katy - to misquote the Man in Black to my hero, Inigo ... Look, I don&#39;t mean to be rude but this writing is not as easy as it looks, so I&#39;d appreciate it if you didn&#39;t distract me.<br /><br />Great post!<br /><br />

Offended? Why would you be offended?

It&#39;s gonna be good!

I have this vision of Jo staring at shiny baubles while Katy&#39;s munching pies!

Teehee! Loved this, then read your first post and loved that as well. Good luck with the wrangling!

Brava, Katy -- and thank you for being such an obviously brilliant writer-wrangler!

I hope you get what you want Julia, you certainly work for it :o)

Downton Abbey for teens gets my vote, not that I&#39;m writing that, but I&#39;d love to read it. I&#39;m attempting number 2.

How about Downton Abbey in space with a hot and intriguing tear-jerking love story? Thanks for all your SCBWI support Julia and thanks again slushies.

Hmm, has Julia set up some sort of telepathic connection to me...? Right, better get on with that tear jerking space love story and the 9 - 12 fantasy! C&#39;mon, Jeannette, I&#39;ll race you! ;-)

Ah, yes... Mr Gum. I read this out loud to my daughter, and was laughing so much I could barely finish the page! Love it - but could never write it. Andy Stanton ROCKS (that from both my daughters, and most their friends - Mr Gum is not just for boys!)

I&#39;m writing something unexpected at the moment. it&#39;s unexpectedly taking a long time.

Sort of Star Trek retro, Jeanette? I can do that! Thanks, Julia!

Thanks for the great list Julia! I&#39;m quite intrigued by Downton Abbey for teens...

A great post and.....ummmm....interesting....two of my wips fit in with different parts of this wish list I think. Chicken House comp 2012 here I come!

Hmmm. Funny AND Wise. Sounds like the perfect comedy duo. Must dig out all those books on philosophy. Hmmmm #am thinking

Must speak to my agent - I have two characters I&#39;d like you to meet...

Chicken House is great! Got to love Barry. <br /><br />My MS doesn&#39;t fit into those - darn. Can I bang out a decent novel in nine months? *thinks*

Am loving your Christmas countdown - so interesting and thought-provoking to see what&#39;s on publishers&#39; wish lists.
