From My House to Yours . . .

December 22, 2017 By JPMcLean 19 Comments

Photo of JP sitting on her stone hearth with a fire in the fireplace and a large green and red Christmas wreath hanging on the chimneyFrom my house to yours . . . happy holidays and all the best in 2018.

Watching the caboose of 2017’s freight train speeding out of sight is usually the time I ask myself, WTH? Where did that one go?

It seems my parents were right: each year speeds up and our lives get busier.

Before this one slips away, I’d like to hit pause to thank you for visiting me here each month. I appreciate you taking the time to drop a note in the comments, share my posts, or recommend my books. I hope these posts and my books entertain you and provide a much-needed escape from the speeding train.

From my house to yours, Merry Christmas, and here’s to a happy, healthy 2018.

Happy reading, happy writing!

      Thanks, Nina. We woke up to about 2″ of snow. Magical. We may have go out for a crunch in our boots later! Merry Christmas.

    Merry Christmas my dear writer friend and to John as well. Wishing you a great 2018! And yes, I felt this year came to an end much too quickly. I had hoped to get my 3rd novel out, but alas, it wasn’t to be. Looking forward to more good times and meet-ups with you. xo

    A very Merry Christmas to you and your family! And you’re right. Time does seem to speed up as we age, so I’m trying to make sure to inject some creative time and reading into everyone of them!

    Yes, each year speeds up. Meaning years, months and days feel shorter.
    Merry Christmas and healthy and happy New Year!
