I would LOVE to get my Christmas letter written and my Christmas decorations put up. We shall see!
I am determined to get my Christmas decorations up this week. Somehow I always fail in getting them up until about 2 weeks before Christmas. With all that shopping to do, its hard to concentrate on ‘decking the halls’! 🙂
Definitely am pushing to get this book review on my blog before Wednesday! 🙂

Congrats to last weeks winner!
I am determined to get my tree up this week.
I tweeted the giveaway: https://twitter.com/#!/MamaCrab1/status/143732424231239682
I live with parents and grandmother all other family local. Decorations are up. So what I want done this week is to finish getting gifts. So I will have to read wonderful books out this season and old go to books:-)
I need to get the house cleaned, put up the Christmas decorations, take the van in to be fixed, get it inspected, purchase some Christmas gifts, get a flyer out for a fundraiser at my girls’ school, start getting donations for a silent auction….oh wait, you said one thing, didn’t you?
I am determined to get a little christmas shopping done also birthday shopping for my daughter!! Have to get done before the kids are out of school for winter break!!
Definitely going out and getting a Christmas tree!!! love putting on the lights and at night just having them on sitting on our balcony enjoying the summer breeze and watching the sea at night 🙂
I am determined to get my bedroom moved around to get my new bookshelf set up. I had to get another because I have 2 many books in boxes taking up space and want them to be displayed. Plus I have been finding out that have duplicates and hate to buy something that I already have. I am a book hoarder and have tons of books. I could start my own library. My aunts give me their old books when they are finished with them. They have been giving me all there old romances and have almost all of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series and a bunch of other romance authors. Found a couple of books that had Fabio on the cover. Thanks for the chance to win. Big fan of your books.
This week, I’m determined to finish wrapping all the Christmas presents. All the decorations and tree are up, so now time for me to get this done. Then, I can relax and look forward to Christmas without getting stressed out.
Thank you for this very generous giveaway.
Congrats Linda! I was excited for a moment. 😉
On my todo list: get all the Christmas detritus put away so I can actually enjoy the festive house.
I tweeted about the contest too. Here’s a copy of the tweet:-

Thank you for writing such awesome books. I absolutely LOVE reading them and appreciate the time and effort you put into each and every one of them! I’m also determined to catch up on your books which I have not yet found!

I want to get my christmas lights on the outside of the house up, the inside is all done so just need to get the outside caught up
My daughter and I moved from California to Texas back in August. I’m going to finish going through the last of our boxes from the move. They’re out in the garage. It’s one of those out of sight, out of mind kind of thing.
Hi Elizabeth thank you for the contests.
This week starting today I’m cleaning out my closet to get rid of good clothes I do not wear or can’t get into any more (LOL) and taking them to the homeless people. We try and clear out once a year or twice a year.
My tree is up but need to put out some more decorations!
Merry Christmas and Happy reading New Year!

I am determined to get my tree up and christmas cards ordered!
I haven’t done anything yet for Christmas except shop! Need to put up the tree, decorate the house (inside and maybe out), get Christmas cards ready to send out, maybe do a little present wrapping.
First, merry Christmas. The main thing on my to do list this week is to finish my exams early so I can do some baking with my kids,
I am determined to get caught up on my reviews this week and with respect to Christmas, I hope to get the last of the Christmas presents in the mail before the end of the week. Oh yes, and I tweeted so I hope you have a whole bunch more entries!
I really have to get my daughter’s birthday invitations done and finish up my Christmas shopping. Congratulations Linda enjoy your books
I’ve got two things at the top of my to do list this week; Get plenty of studying done for finals next week and bake a bunch of yummy goodies to make thank you baskets for all of my instructors.
I have finals this week too! Good Luck!
Good luck to everyone with finals!
I want to get the Christmas tree up! And decorations!
And finish formatting my next book to put up on Amazon and Smashwords! Lots to do!
What is on my To Do List this week?
1. Study hard for all my finals this week. BLAH
2. Put up a Christmas Tree.
3. Unground my 5 year old son by Friday (he is a chatterbox in class)
4. Sit Back and relax with my ebooks on my IPhone.. no better way to read a historical romance!
5. Start a new To Do List for next week!
Congrats Linda!
I hope to finish making my nephews blanket for Christmas 🙂
Two major things I would like to get done this week – get our Christmas cards mailed (of course, I need to write them first!), and get our tree up and decorated. Yes, we still get a real one. Plus the usual errands, groceries, pay bills, return books to library and read, read, read.
I will get my Christmas cards addressed and mailed. I will, I will, I will!
I’m going to try to send out a few Christmas cards this week and clean up the house.
I am a member of the local chapter of the ASG and every year the ASG chooses a community service project. This year’s project was Painted Turtle Pillows (http://www.asg.org/html/giving.html for more information).
We have a meeting this weekend and that is the last date that the turtles will be collected and sent to the camp. I need to finish sewing up my turtles for the meeting. Since I also hold volunteer positions in our local chapter, I also have a presentation to review and have ready this week.
I am bound and determined to finish cleaning that monster of a desk of mine. It has taken on a life of its own. I don’t even know what is there and what is not!! Congrats to the winners and hope I will be one also!!
I am determined to enjoy my vacation with my family this week. 🙂
Lord Langley looks hot and I would love a box of your books. What are great Christmas present.
I’m determined to get my grandaughters presents wrapped. The oldest is 7, and the youger is 2. After I get the gifts wrapped I still have to get them books. They are like me NEENIE and their mother, The love to read…then I will wrap them too. I did trade some used paperbacks to the used book store, so I have $78.00 credit. That’s a lot of books for them. I have over 1000 hardcover books, so I thought it would be okay to trade them, even though I really wanted to keep them. They are my friends and some I read over and over. My husband, however believes I hoard them and we are runnung out of room in our house. I will never get rid of my hardcovers, and the very special paperbacks. I love your books and have been a fan forever.
After decorating for Christmas for the first time in three years, now I have to find the gumption to take all the boxes back out to the shed. Since my goal has been for months to re-organize the shed, this will not help the cause, BUT…..when the decorations come down, I can label boxes and reorganize. So….boxes to the shed, then we need to take rake, hoe and shovel and level our privately maintained dirt road!!! Ah, the joys of Christmas!!!!!
Finish my Christmas shopping. I only have really 1 more Monday left off to finish. Then my kids are out of school for Winter break. I cannot do shopping with them.
This year has gone by way to fast.
Thanks for the contest….but you dont need to enter me in. Give another a chance to win some goodies.
I’m determined to get my two packages with Christmas presents for my sisters and parents sent.

my goal for the week is to survive a crazy busy week at work filled w/ meetings & a must do list a mile long (would be wishing for Fri already except way too much of that list hasn’t been scratched off yet)
1) My To Do list is FILLED with assignments from school! Finals to study, etc.
2) I need to finish knitting the Crayola Crayon scarf I’m knitting for my sister’s xmas present! Shhhh 😉
I will unload, sort, and wrap all the gifts purchased last week.
On my to do list I am determined to finish my final papers for my grad classes and to clean my house.
My goal is to keep reading Christmas themed stories in the hopes that some Christmas spirit will spark and I will actually feel like doing anything Christmas related.
Besides getting a few last minute Christmas things done, I would also like to finish cleaning out my closet.lol
My son is turning one on Dec 27 so I have to send out invitations to friends and family by this week, buy decorations, order cake…..will try to finish this by the end of the week. So looking forward to him turning one.
Lastly, thank you for the contest and Happy Holidays to you and your family…..
First, I would love to get over a really bad cold that has killed my momentum this week. Christmas decorations are next on the list after that!
Cleaning! Before putting up the final touches on our decorations!

After working that past five days, which I did a lot for driving in the snow and ice. I only have two days to get everything I want done. But unfortunately I have to get two new tires and a new rim for my car and then in the afternoon go get a new crown done on my tooth. I was hoping to get my christmas cookies started but it looks like I will have to do that nest week.
Next week.
null Stayed up to 3am to put up my Christmas tree,,spent all monday decorating it,,going to wrap some gift tonite,,on wed. making tamales to celebrate dads birthday,after lunch visiting his grave, and by friday hope to finish my christmas list:)
I think the question is what’s *not* on my to do list.
I’m happy I have a short and compact to-do list this week:
1. Read and return books to the library at end of the week.
2. Get the Christmas tree up.
3. Start clearing out things I don’t need.
Very reasonable and they will get done!

I have a house that qualifies as a lighthouse. I have made the paper for both Halloween, and now Christmas. I have the inside 90% done. All I really need is to put all the boxes away that the stuff came in. I am putting a 5,300 square foot house worth of decorations in a 1,400 foot cottage, and needless to say, space is of the essence!
i didn’t celebrate christmas but chinese new year and usually my list is cut my hair, buying a new clothes and some pastry
I’m having a major SQEEEE moment! I can’t believe I won. Thanks everyone!
Deep breaths Linda! Don’t faint now 🙂
This week, I am DETERMINED to bake the first batch of Christmas Cookies for my family this year! There’s is nothing better than cookies, eaten in December. 🙂
I am determined to get my Christmas tree up!! Lol. Not so easy to do when you live in a house with two boys under the age of 8 who are ADHD. My house stays in a constant state of chaos. But I am determined to get this tree up. Something about seeing the tree up just makes everything seem more festive and merry.
I just finished two things on this week’s list — knitting a pair of socks for a friend and finishing the second pair for my husband for Christmas. His socks are BIG — 18,000 stitches per sock. Just cast on another pair, this time for my mom. Should have them done well before Christmas. I’m reading Of Noble Birth by Brenda Novak while knitting and it’s a great book!
I tweeted 😀

First on my list: decorate the house! Sinterklaas (December 5th, Dutch tradition) is over, so now I can finally decorate for Christmas, whoohoo!
Second on my list: thouroughly clean the kitchen, so I can start testing recipes for Christmas. Don’t like the cleaning part, but love the testing!
I’m determined to get a certain scene from my current WIP at least partially written along with edits on the same WIP done, or at least a good portion of the way there.
Also on said to-do list is lose a couple more pounds and try to enjoy my family. 🙂
I went shopping yesterday and bought a few presents. Today, I have some baking to do and hopefully, wrap these presents sometime this week.
On my To-Do List for this week:
Turn in my Photography Class Exam (today)
Finish my Christmas Shopping (today)
Finish at least two books
Sleep…sometime…maybe.
I did tweet this, as well.

I am determined to get the following things done this week:
1. Put up and decorate the tree/house
2. Start baking cookies
This Christmas season, I’ve got it all backwards. I’m normally done decorating the weekend after Thanksgiving, but usually need to shop for all of the gifts. This year, I have all of the gifts, but no decorations up! Ahhhh!
I will get it done! I just have to keep telling myself that!
Thanks for the chance to win such a great giveaway!
Winning a box of boxes from you would be like finding my pot of gold at the end of a rainbow!!!! Whooohooo!!!!
My to do list as a mom of four this week is to complete my Christmas shopping!!!! I have only started and gotten a few things normally by this time every year I have it all bit the stocking drifters done! I haven’t even made out my Christmas card list!!! I did scratch off bringing in my camera to the shop yesterday to be fixed and was disappointed in the fact it could take up to 3 weeks to be repaired!!!! And the MAJOR to do for today is Christmas lights up on the house!!!! They have NEVER missed being up later then the day after thanksgiving!!!! 🙁
I want to get my house decorated for Christmas this week.
I hope to have a couple of decorations put up, but first must find a spot where the kittens can’t reach. lol Have a wonderful holiday season (Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Yule, Happy New Year and everything I missed, too!)
Find and buy a Christmas gift for my future son-in-law. All suggestions are welcome!
I am determined to get some housecleaning done. We are not going to be here for Christmas (leaving on the 18th, returning on the 26th) so there’s not much decorating going on. But I want to have a clean house to come home to.
I’m leaving Sunday to take my Army husband to TX for surgery, the day we get back we leave for a 16 hour road trip home(with 2 cats and 2 dogs, 1 of which is a mastiff)for Christmas AND to see my Airman little brother get married. I seriously need to get the house cleaned and our bags packed before Friday!
The two things I’m determined to do this week are two block two shawls and to sew the shoulder seams and crochet the edging on a jacket I finished knitting about a month ago.
I am determined to finish my Christmas cards.
My to do list is full of stuff for school. I have finals coming up next week and big research project that I’m currently working on that is also due next week. We did get our Christmas tree, but so far, I have not had time to decorate it. It’s still a pretty tree though. 🙂
Abolutly determined to finish my assignments before Christmas so the joy/hope/celebration can take priority!
I really would love to get some house work done and some Christmas shopping! I really hate being a last minute shopper but it just never works out any differently!

I am hoping to get my house decorated for the holidays. I’ve been slow this year on doing that. I guess December sneaked up on me.
I am pushing to finish my decorating this week.
The tree is up, I have hung the stockings and decorated the door. I still have a few Christmas knickknack decorations and candles to get out.
This December really went by too quickly and I haven’t caught up yet.
I’m determined to get some decorations and a tree put up.
I am determined to finish my shopping so I can relax the week before Christmas.
