What is your favorite holiday and why?

I love Christmas. Dominic and I decorate the house in a big way and we have a huge holiday open house.   We entertain a lot and spend a lot of time with family and friends. It’s a real special time of year for us. Dominic will start his holiday making soon and the entire house will fill with the scent of cookies and pastries. It’s a real special time. One of the things I love best, in case you can’t guess, is the food. There are certain dishes that Dominic makes only once a year and I look forward to them so much. His holiday dips and meatballs are worth waiting all year for.

Have a wonderful holiday season!!!!!

“I asked the doctor, and he said that as long as I get plenty of rest, I should be able to go to at least some of the wedding.” Cynthia was his sister’s best friend, and she was like a sister to both of them. She had looked for love everywhere and found it in the man who moved into the house right behind hers. “Part of what I agreed to do was to plan the bachelorette party. I arranged the location and I already sent out all the invitations, but I can’t do the rest.” She took his hand. “Gregory, I need you to do this for me.”

He opened his mouth to tell her no way in hell, but she seemed so hurt and worried and tired. “I don’t know anything about these sorts of things.”

“It’s a party for a bunch of women. That’s all. I made a list of the things that need to be done. Just please help me with this. This is a big deal. Friends of Cynthia and mine that we haven’t seen in ten years are coming into Mechanicsburg just for this. I had planned something really special… but I agreed to do this before I got pregnant this time, and it means so much to Cynthia.” She wiped her eyes again, and Gregory agreed to it without any more argument.

“As long as I don’t have to be there or serve as the entertainment.”

Annalise’s expression shifted from tired to wicked in about ten seconds. “You might want to be there. I found a stripper. The guy is big, buff, and hunky as all hell. I hired him out of one of the gay clubs in Harrisburg, so it’s likely he bats for your team. Though he said he dances at a ladies’ club in York too, so maybe he’s an equal opportunity butt-waver.” She flashed him a grin, and Gregory rolled his eyes.
