I would love a real tree! We've had an artificial one for years because the real deal is so expensive here. <br />2. Egg Nog please! We have a lady in our church who makes homemade wassail and I don't really care for it. Though, it smells delightful when it's heating up :-) <br />3. We usually open one present Christmas Eve and the rest on Christmas morning. <br />4. Ham for Christmas always! We have turkey for Thanksgiving :-)<br />5. I've never had figgy pudding so I guess I'd stick with chocolate chess pie. Though, if there's pumpkin pie present, it would trump those two in a heartbeat, lol! <br /><br />Fun interview! I have a few of Tamera's books on my shelf and this one looks especially good for Christmas right around the corner (again, what?).

I don't really like eggnog or wassail. My extended family gets together during the day Christmas Eve so we open gifts then. My kids and I open gifts Christmas morning. We usually have ham at the Christmas Eve gathering so turkey or something else on Christmas day. I've never had Figgy Pudding or Chocolate Chess Pie for Christmas. However, I did try your recipe for Chocolate Chess Pie that is in your book To Wager Her Heart. It was fantastic!<br /><br />I always enjoy Tammy's books and am looking forward to this new series.

I also love the playlist. I listened to the playlist as I read A Note Yet Unsung. As for Christmas, we use a fake tree. We drink hot chocolate while opening presents on Christmas day.

Lookout Maryland where he was held until the armistice and sent home. He traveled by foot with his brother to Louisiana and married his sweetheart, Sallie. I have a letter he wrote to her not long before the battle. Looking forward to reading your book.<br /><br />As for your questions. I have an artificial tree because real fir trees and pine broke me out in hives when I tried to decorate or un-decorate them. I really like wassail. Our children were allowed to open one gift on Christmas Eve before we left for the candlelight service at church. The rest came on Christmas morning. We usually have ham on Christmas and our desserts are apple pie and chocolate cake or fresh apple cake.Martha W.

I would love to read another novel by Tamera Alexander as well.<br /><br />My Christmas preferences (no necessarily what we do each year now that the kids are grown with kids of their own) are: real tree, wassail, both Christmas Eve and Day (two sides of the family), ham... and I've never had figgy pudding or chocolate chess pie - so I'd say pumpkin pie would have to fit in that slot.<br /><br />lorigeorge at hotmail dot com<br /> Lori91301https://www.blogger.com/profile/15263092800666166106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-38023098959527945482017-10-09T10:31:22.647-04:002017-10-09T10:31:22.647-04:00Hey gals!
