Fun: Christmas Open House

Happy Holidays to my Friends,

Thank you for stopping by to my virtual Christmas Open House. Please come in for hors d’oeuvres and drinks before you head out to parties, or go to the dessert table when you need a break from the holiday madness.  Stop in anytime and enjoy the refreshments and the company.

I wanted to extend a special thanks to all my Twitter friends! I am new to Twitter in the last few months and now can’t imagine my life without the daily connection to my wonderful friends.  I want to thank you for the friendship, encouragement and support for my new writing career.  And, the inspiration and friendship from the Integral, spiritual and Buddhist communities.

I have a virtual gift for you from my family to yours

Launch your own SlideRocket presentation!

And, if you would like to hang out for a little while, you can have some fun.

The special feature tonight – Here is a fun video of Mr. Diety and the Magic – He explains how one can prove Santa exists.

Please become one of my followers. Join the party at the Google Followers Side-Bar on the right, and have a few virtual drinks.  We are serving hot cocoa, spiced cider and a lovely collection of fine wines for the holidays.

Read a twisted little Christmas tale if your family is driving your crazy. And be sure to check out Part 3, which includes ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas in My Mafia Family, as well as a few fun videos for the family.

    Merry Christmas, Anne. I enjoyed your slide show. Can’t tell you folks like books, can you? 🙂

    Have a great new year!

      Thanks Julie,
      I’m just trying to manage all the blogs of writers to follow and am getting organized with Google reader. I will be following you too. Glad you could stop by to the party! Your dogs are beautiful!!

    What a beautiful slideshow. I really enjoyed meeting your family and love love love all the books in the last picture! Your family is lovely, but I have to be honest and tell you that I was most curious about what books you had back there!! Merry Christmas. ~Olivia

      Have to admit, the picture with all the books is a little cheesy, but it had all four of us in it. There was books pasted into the entire background, but we removed them. This picture was one of our proofs for a podcast my husband and I were going to do for another one of my websites, Living With Live Wires, about parenting and educating bright, creative kids. We aren’t doing the podcast right now, just too much going on. We have so many books in our house! We homeschooled our kids for the last three years, but just this fall, they went to school.

    This is so kind of you Anne, and what a nice presentation. I’ll be leaving for my parent’s shortly so won’t get to enjoy the remainder of the party, but I appreciate you doing this.
    Merry Christmas!
