In Honor of the 12 Remaining Days Until Christmas

December 13, 2013 by Serena

Christmas is fast approaching here in this house. We’ve finally decorated the tree with its lights, tinsel, and bulbs, and got the candles in the windows and the stockings above the fireplace. There aren’t many gifts under the tree this year, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to share gifts with all of you.

Now through Christmas Eve, I’m going to post on the Savvy Verse & Wit Facebook page one book from the Best of List for 12 days.

I’ll try to post the each book on the Best of List in the afternoon for everyone on the Facebook page and after the holidays, I’ll post the full list here on the blog.

Have a happy holiday everyone, no matter what you celebrate.
