I'm joining 192 other authors in the Stuff Your Stockings Christmas blog hop to spread some holiday cheer to our wonderful readers! We have literally hundreds of chances for you to win some great prizes, including books, jewelry, gift cards, and more.
If, like me, you're easily overwhelmed by so many choices, may I suggest starting with my fellow Musa Publishing authors Marguerite Butler (who writes charming Regency romances that will have you laughing the whole way through) and Dominique Eastwick (who writes hot paranormal romances that will steam up your screen)? And if you want more free stuff, Musa has free reads until the end of the year. You don't even have to enter a drawing to get them. How's that for holiday spirit?
I'm giving away a $25 Amazon gift card and a copy of my confession novella AN IMPERFECT WIFE. Use the nifty widget below for up to 5 chances to win!
In the spirit of confessing, I'll confess my own holiday guilty pleasure: fruitcake. Not just any fruitcake, though -- it has to be None Such mincemeat fruitcake soaked in rum or brandy. I know, fruitcake is the butt of so many jokes and you're not supposed to like it, but few things say "Christmas" to me like this cake. It's not overly sweet and terrific when sliced thinly and nibbled with hot tea.

Favorite Christmas movie has to be A Christmas Carol (the original b&w version with Alister Sim).
Spending quality time with my family and eating the traditional icecream Bûche de noel
thanks you a lot
Favorite movie is the black and white Miracle on 34th Street
I watch It's a Wonderful Life and eat an entire box (8) of chocolate covered cherries.
I love all the Lifetime Christmas movies... the cornier, the better.
My favorite Christmas movie is: "A Christmas Story". Hilarious, touching, and takes place in Cleveland (!) where I'm from (!). The classic line: "You'll put your eye out!", and the frozen flagpole scene... you've got to see it!
24 hours of A Christmas Story has us all quoting the movie! We're also junkies for sausage balls and It's a Wonderful Life. Once in a while I'll put those cream covered chocolate candies by Brach's in the freezer so I can pretend I'm back at Mamaw's house!!
Elf is the all time new favorite movie :)
Gulity pleasure? Just the shear quantity of treats and goodies I eat during the month of December.
My daughter and I look forward every year to watching 24 hours of A Christmas Story! Last year I finally got her to watch It's a Wonderful Life and she loved it! My son will be home for Christmas too - good times to be had by all!
My hubby watches It's A Wonderful Life every Christmas. It just doesn't seem like the holidays if that's not playing in the background while I cook dinner.
My guilty pleasure this time of year is food I love to eat lots of tamales and to top it off I am a chocoholic so I will eat anything that's chocolate.

My guilty pleasure would be fudge! My favorite tradition was always listening to my grandfather read the story of the first Christmas from his Bible each Christmas Eve. I miss this a lot since his death, I do have it on DVD's from various years but it is not the same.
I hope you have a safe and happy holiday season. Thank you for the giveaway!

I'll have to say that I have yet to try any type of fruit cake, sounds to me like it gets a bad rap...my guilty pleasure is just about any type of chocolate with caramel in it and make it dark chocolate too! Happy Holidays to you...
