Hope your holidays thus far have been all you hoped for. For me, well, I knew it would be weird and painful, and it has been. But I'm getting through it. There have certainly been some lovely moments, and plenty of happy memories. Some laughter. Some tears. Pretty much as expected.

Anyway. I'm looking forward to next year! How about you?

In the meantime, we have winners!

From Advent Calendar Day 5 - The winner of the Secrets and Scrabble Captain's Seat wall paper velveteen blanket is... Natasha!

From Advent Calendar Day 10 - The four winners of the 110-piece Secrets and Scrabble jigsaw puzzle "Invitation to Come Aboard" are... Loretta, Pauperjo, Ella, and Elyxyz. 

From Advent Calendar Day Day 17 - Our winners of the A Winter Romance collection are everyone who commented on the post. Your download link is here. 

(There is a catch though. The giveaway expires on January 2nd. So hurry up and claim your copy!

And, finally, Advent Calendar Day 20 - The 5 winners of subscriptions to my Patreon $5.00 tier (Murder, My Sweet) for one full year are...Karan, MistakingDreamsforPromises, Catrin, Vell, and CathyR

I would love to gift a subscription to each and every one of you, of course (but that would sort of defeat the purpose of Patreon). 

Now, to receive your gifts, please remember NOT to put your personal contact info here in the comments! Contact me through the email on my website or even Facebook. Of course, if you're on Patreon, DM me there. I do need physical addresses to ship several of these gifts out, so don't forget. :-) 

This concludes 2024's Advent Calendar. Once again, thank you so much to everyone who took part, from the talented authors and others to the generous and supportive readers. I hope our annual tradition brings a few sweet moments and happy memories during the often stressful holiday season. Thank you so much for reading along!

Wishing you the happiest of New Years!
