PostsLet It Snow Books: Guest post by Lori Austin + Giveaway
Today I would like to introduce to you another new favourite author of mine: Lori Austin who pens the Once Upon a Time in the West Series! You might know Lori and her books, which she writes under her other penname as Lori Handeland, and trust me her historical Western romances are a must read as well! I LOVED , which was one of my favourite reads of 2012 (read my review to see why)! So please give a warm welcome to Lori, and pick up her Western HR series, I'm sure you'll love it!
I'm not much of a Christmas person. I do like to look at lights but I don't want to be the one who puts them up. I especially don't want to be the one who takes them down, and I know from experience that I will be that person. Same goes for a Christmas tree.
I stopped getting Christmas trees several years ago. I had told my kids that there would be no tree because I did not have time to decorate or undecorate. They swore they would do it all. So I caved. I bought a tree. They asked me to put on the lights since they did not know how. (No kidding.) I did. I set the ornament boxes next to the tree and walked away.
A month later, I put away the unopened ornament boxes, yanked the lights off the tree and dragged it away. We have not had a tree since.
Until I saw the most beautiful tree in the world. Tall and skinny, I knew it would fit right in an unused corner of my very small house. I would only need one string of lights and a very small box of ornaments. I could even have the classy white and gold color scheme I've always dreamed of but never bothered with since I didn't want to buy a ton of new decorations.
Here is my beautiful tree. 10 minutes to decorate and voila! I love it!
Now I will toss some tinsel over the mantel, put up some battery operated candles and strategically place a few Christmas themed beanie babies and I will be done decorating for Christmas.
How about you? Do you decorate for Christmas? Do you have a tree? Real or artificial? How big? What else do you do to prepare for the holiday season?

Once they reach Kansas, they are sent away to their separate lives, with a promise to meet again—at the same train depot, on Christmas Eve.
