Diann Hunt writes romantic comedy and humorous women's fiction. She has been happily married forever, loves her family, chocolate, her friends, chocolate, her dog, and well, chocolate.
Cheryl Hodde writes romantic medical suspense under the pen name of Hannah Alexander, using all the input she can get from her husband, Mel, for the medical expertise. For fun she hikes and reads. Out of guilt, she rescues discarded cats. She and Mel are presently taking orders from four pampered strays.

Colleen, I can just see you under the tree. I can also see Dave being a last minute shopper. He doesn't strike me as a big mall person. LOL
My husband says I'm worse than our son. I love presents. Hate waiting. I can't tell you how many times I've conned him into opening presents early. That was before Tanner. Now we have to be the mature responsible parents. Sigh.
Don't you dare open that present! I'll call Dave and tell him! LOLOLOL
Should I torment you and tell you to watch your mail as I sent you something? I mailed it last Friday, but considering our mail system here in podunk, who knows when you'll get it! LOLOLOLOL
And God blessing you with your writing career has been a blessing to many, countless others. I know.
Colleen, i wanted go go boots too, really bad! I can so relate.
But God is very much like that... delighting in giving us what we don't deserve. Aren't we most blessed that He's so generous.
So, like you, I take a moment to reflect on His goodness and publicly thank Him for what He's done in my writing life, and for giving me friends like you.

I'm pretty picky. I just make good detailed Christmas Wish Lists. I know, I know-- so not what Christmas is about. I just can't help myself. I give the store, location in the store, price, things in the vicinity. Anything to make sure he gets it right. Sigh. It's sad really.
Do you know, I never discovered where my parents hid our Christmas presents! Now that's just pathetic.
This year, I get an ergonomic chair!

i ALWAYS knew where my mother hid the presents, from the time i was about 13 or so. so each christmas i was never surprised.
now however, dad just asks me what i want, and generally that's what i get :)
The joy of surprise? I get to be surprised when I discover what it is--no matter if I sneak and open it or not. LOL I know the big thing I'm getting this year. I researched digital cameras and told him I want a Canon 511 or 612. So I know he'll look for that. LOL I got him a DV movie camera, tiny little thing. It came yesterday and I was playing with it! LOL
Rachel, you aren't old enough to remember go-go boots. LOL
i know what i'm getting this year, and it's NOT what i want. there is only one thing i want, and that is kristin's new book. but the christian bookstore near us doesn't have any copies and my brother won't go to the other one to get it! :( humph!!!! but i WANT IT!!! (i'm getting a lori wick one instead, blahh).
Um Colleen....I HAD a pair of go go boots.....they may have been out of style, but I wanted them and got them! LOL I think I MAY even have a pix around here somewhere of me sporting them when I was like 8! LOL
Haha! I peeked, rewrapped and everything when I was a kid. There was one year I wanted a barbie townhome soo badly. Know how I figured out we were getting them? I listened to phone conversations on the extension and overhead the one my parents had to say that dad had to take us out so mom could bring them in the house without us seeing them. Sure enough there they were Christmas morning.
Now there are no surprises. My parents (mom) just buy us whatever we want, usually when shopping so they don't have to deal with returns. Sizes are so hard to figure out nowadays. :(
And I already know what writing book I'm getting from my sister because I asked for it! LOL
Sabrina, did you wait to open your gift or did you succumb like Jenny?
BTW finally updated my blog if anyone is interested.
Neat post, Colleen.
I resist opening James's gifts too. He gives the best!! but he always knows if I've already seen them. I give myself away.
I do remember go go boots!! LOL. You know, Goldie Hawn, Laugh-in and all that. :) I'm not sure I "called" them go go boots, but they were go go boots. ;) Rachel
