Julia London Oh peeps, I've had a helluva holiday. Xmas was great, New Year's even better with my nephew's wedding. Came home after three days of merry-making and learned a best friends had died. On Sunday, I attended the Dallas-Philadelphia game which was AWESOME (with all due respect to the Eagles, of course). On Friday I fly... to CA for the funeral. I need to resume a normal life. How was your holiday??

Kelly Spadini Hi, I read Summer of Two Wishes a month or two ago. I see that is going to be a series. Thats AWESOME! Can't wait for the next book!

Julia London I'm taking off for a few days. Merry Christmas to all of you!

Zainuriah A Rahman Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family

Julia London Doing laundry, some wrapping, and getting out all of the (prepackaged) ingredients to make my (just discovered)famous (and easy) broccoli salad for MIL's house tomorrow. I am hoping to find time to write in there, too. It's like exercise--lay off too long and I really have to crank it up to get into it again. Hope y...our day is pressure free and sane. Post if you need us to rally behind you :-)

Julia London Rethinking the whole, when-do-gifts-go-under-the-tree thing since the three year old likes opening them so much. I think Santa is going to dump the whole lot on Christmas Eve. How do you do it?

Julia London We did it -- we finished the gift shopping. Now they must be wrapped. I am thinking of a standoff with Jack London -- whichever one of us panics first gets to wrap

Julia London Well I did it. I weighed today and yes, it was as bad as I feared. Think I will take Donna's advice and eat the rest of the Godivas so they aren't here to tempt me. HAHAHA. Off to finish up the Christmas shopping!

Julia London My dear friend sent me a box of Godiva chocolates and I have motored through about half of them. I can feel myself expanding. Do you know the average person gains five pounds over the holidays? I usually don't, but this year has been so cold and rainy that I don't think I am getting enough exercise, so it could be a... banner year. Do you gain, or do you manage to keep the weight off?

Julia London I am feeling the clock ticking down. It's a different sort of biological clock, the kind that gets louder and louder the closer you get to the holidays. My nephew is getting married the following week, too, and I still have nothing for him and his bride. When am I going to squeeze it all in?

Tonya Lee I loved A courtesan's Scandal,and I love all your books and I read them as soon as they come out .

Julia London I balanced my checkbook this morning and had to go lay down. Kids, I can burn through some money around the holidays. I have no self-control. I realized it when I ordered that Venetian Santa from Neiman Marcus. Today, I promise to be better. How's your checkbook holding up? Single-handedly turning the economy around, or are you wiser and calmer than me?

Julia London The three year old wants a fishing rod from Santa. that's cute. No idea where he got it. No idea where to get a kiddie fishing rod, which is what husbands are for. If only I could trust him to do ALL the Xmas shopping. What about your husbands (or wives?) Are they any help with holiday stuff?

I need a hero. I need one every time I start writing a new book, and I need one to show up when I hit the sagging middle while drafting that book. Heroes are not that easy to build. They have to have ...
