Thanks so much, you guys, for hanging out with me this month. Congrats, to all the UBCers reading this who participated! I took a break in the middle of the action, so I didn't get to participate the way I wanted. I got sick and it wasn't really taking time to rest, so finally, I just had to whether I wanted to or not. But I live in hope of actually doing a future challenge the whole way through, LOL. And it did increase traffic, so imagine if I had a whole month. Still, it was wonderful to connect with you guys even to the extent that I did. Looking forward to seeing you again next time! Love, Jeanine

How was Thanksgiving?
It's the Monday after Thanksgiving, and I have questions...
(1) How was Thanksgiving for you? (2) What are you doing with your leftovers? Any yummy turkey breast sandwiches? That's always my favorite leftover, along with sweet potato pie. (3) Did you get all of your holiday shopping done? Or any of your shopping done? ;) (4) Did you watch any of the 7 new Hallmark Christmas movies? (5) Have you downloaded the free excerpt from my book, yet? Hallmark Christmas

If you and your family have a fun Thanksgiving meal planned, including the desserts, but you would rather avoid some of the caloric overload, without missing out on the sweet treats, consider replacing some of the yummy offerings with tea, for your own menu.

P.S. I'm participating in a 30-day blog challenge and today's prompt is to see if your blog readers will share an image that we post on Facebook. I would prefer sharing my video, and would love it if you'd share it, too. The post is on my page.

Thanksgiving Dinner
Still deciding about your Thanksgiving Dinner Menu?
Here's a suggested menu below, and some Thanksgiving recipes you can use if you want to try a menu item but aren't sure about how to make it. I've also got a free printable Thanksgiving menu planner below.
Let me know what you decide or have decided on, in the comments.
Frankly, I am still deciding. My son does not really care to celebrate, this year, so I am choosing for myself, and am not sure how much fuss I want to make about it.
And we've got an invitation to dine with friends (*cough* plus one guest who is not a friend. *cough*), so I have that to decide.
See you tomorrow!
Love, Jeanine

In the Hallmarkies Book Club, on Facebook we read romance novels published by Hallmark, and occasionally, one or two that have been published elsewhere. And once we get to the end of October or beginning of November, it's all Christmas, all the time. :)
We're just finishing up with On Christmas Avenue, by Ginny Baird, and I had to read it pretty quickly in order to catch up, because I got a late start.
On Christmas Avenue:
My Confession

Y'all - I didn't read it!
I hate to do a bait and switch, but when I got about a tenth of the way through it, I just knew I didn't want to finish it.
I'm usually up for "we're about to lose the..." store, factory, or town, but this was a very slow-moving plot and I just could not stay with it.
Christmas at
Fireside Cabins
So, instead, I am reading Christmas at Fireside Cabins by Jenny Hale. I chose it next, because I always love her books, so it was a sure thing.
And although there is a character I am not yet crazy about, I do like the book! It's neat to get to know the main character, who, after a little bit of deception about the state of the fireside cabins when she rented them over the phone, is nonetheless being very kind to the elderly woman who owns them.
I definitely recommend this book if you are looking for a warmhearted holiday read.
And when you're done, her other books are great, too.
Have you been doing any Christmas reading yet? If not, comment and tell me what you are reading, or the last book you read.
See you tomorrow!
Love, Jeanine
Hi, I'm Jeanine

I've dedicated 2022 to creating a Hallmark Christmas lifestyle.
Stay tuned, if you also love Hallmark Christmas movies, but feel sad when the season ends. I'll help you stay connected to Christmas all year long.
