Happy Birthday From Me to You

Crossing an item off my bucket list this week as I spend four days in NYC!

I’ve visited the Big Apple many times but never during the holidays. BONUS: my brother lives in Manhattan so I have a personal tour guide to All the Things.

I can’t wait to window shop, see the tree, decorations and soak up everything Christmas!

I’m writing this from the airport where I arrived two hours early because I was so excited to unwrap this fabulous birthday present. But I want you guys to have a present to open too, so I came up with something special just for you.

For the next five days, December 13- 17, I have scheduled a FREE PROMOTION for my Kindle book http://holidazedbook.com, just in time for your holiday preparations!

 

When there's so many Christmas presents you have to call a timeout, you know its too much

 

Here’s what you’ll get when you open your gift:

  • Stop the Insanity Tips
  • Holiday spending reality check
  • Hospitality w/o the hassle
  • Unique & frugal gift-giving ideas
  • Traditions that transcend
  • Grocery shopping advice so you don’t overspend
  • Humorous stories
  • Stocking your pantry
  • Easy recipes for busy weekdays
  • Loads of time tested holiday recipes
  • How to tame the time crunch
  • Organization tips galore
  • How to put the merry back into Christmas

 

This all-encompassing holiday guide will be a reference you’ll pull out for years to come:

“Everybody needs to hear what you have to say. Nobody rocks a holiday with as much balance as you do… Susan Ely is the holiday master.”

“I just finished re-reading Holidazed as I get ready for the Christmas season. So much inspiration to be found here.”

Thank you all for your love and support as I pursue my writing path. Happy birthday from me to you and a very Merry Christmas!

My hard-won advice on how to make this the Best. Christmas. Ever.

“Ugh!” I groaned when I read the advertisement for yet another Christmas holiday how-to book, guaranteed to result in the “BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!!!”

Shaking my head and murmuring to myself, I headed downstairs to spread a little Christmas cheer to my unsuspecting husband.

“Can you believe this?” I fumed. “How To Have the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER?!” 

“The pressure the media puts on women: do more, spend moredecorate more, craft more, bake more... Like it’s a competition!  Like any of that has anything to do with Christmas!” (I might have been just a tad over-caffeinated.)

“Um hum,” he mumbled, without looking up from his coffee.

“You know what? I should write a book about how to celebrate a stress-free Christmas. I could do it with my eyes closed!”

“Do it,” he said.

And so I did.

But I should probably back up a minute.

Hi. My name is Susan. I’m a Christmas-aholic. It’s been eight years since my last “stressed out” holiday.
