Happy Holiday Giveaway from the Cathy C. Hall of Fame

Christmas may come but once a year, but all you folks who visit the Hall of Fame come around all year long. And I truly appreciate your comments and good wishes. What, I said to myself, can I do for all these fine friends of mine during this wondrous holiday season?

“Writing goodies for everyone!” I shrieked. But then I stepped away from the chocolate-covered coffee beans and thought, um. Maybe not everyone.

“Writing goodies for one lucky someone!” I (still) shrieked.

You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” —C.S. Lewis

That’s one of my very favorite quotes. I almost always have a cup of tea nearby when I’m writing these lovely blog posts. So, I’ve fetched the special teas I purchased at a “Taste of Britain” store. I’ll include these four teas in the writing goodies holiday giveaway. Even though I’ve never had China White Mint Tea.

That’s how much y’all mean to me. But you can’t get the goodies if you don’t leave a comment sometime during the month. Maybe some of you blogflowers will step up and say hello, hmmm?
Any comment, anytime during the month, on any post here at the Hall of Fame, and your name goes into the Holiday Giveaway hat for each comment.

Who knows what else I’ll add? No, seriously. Anybody know what else I should add? (And I shall disregard any of those responses along the lines of elephants, surf boards, or wine cellars…though to be sure, those are all things every writer needs!)

Oh, and Happy Holidays from me to you!

Finding Something Friday: An Advent Story in my Inbox (Courtesy of Cup of Comfort)


One of my Facebook buddies sent me a message today about my story, “Advent in the Hall House” being in the Cup of Comfort Newsletter, which just happened to be in my Inbox today!

Technically, “Advent in the Hall House” can be found in A Cup of Comfort Book of Christmas Prayer, which you can find in your local bookstore or at the Cup of Comfort website. It’s not just me who thinks this book might make a swell Christmas gift.

The Beneficent Mr. Hall said, “I’d buy it, even if I didn’t have to!” And Sally the Crazy dog said, “Marf, too!” Now, you can’t get a better endorsement that that, can you?

Go ahead and read my story by zipping over here. But don’t be surprised if you’re hankering to read the rest of the stories in a Cup of Comfort Book of Christmas Prayer. And have yourself some merry little Christmas Spirit.
