Merry Christmas!
This picture was taken in the front yard of my old house some years ago. The figures were inherited from my grandmother. The manger was built by my husband and oldest daughter.
So far this year, we haven't had any freezes or snow. I'm sure we are due some.

These questions may prompt you to share advice, insight, a personal experience or story. Include your answer to the question in your IWSG post or let it inspire your post if you are struggling with something to say.

DECEMBER 6 QUESTION - Book reviews are for the readers. When you leave book reviews do you review for the Reader or the Author? Is it about what you liked and enjoyed about your reading experience, or do you critique the author?
MY ANSWER - I've done both - left a review for the book itself and as a favor to author friends. I believe in supporting authors and works you like.
How about you? When you leave book reviews do you review for the Reader or the Author? Is it about what you liked and enjoyed about your reading experience, or do you critique the author?
