It’s that time of year again – Christmas! And the question in my latest contest is: What would be your perfect way to spend Christmas? Would you like money to be no object? Or would you be happy with your family around you? The more I think about this the more I realise that it does not matter whether we’re financially well off. Christmas is a time for families. To have our loved ones around us.
In 2004 I wrote a book called Her Husband’s Christmas Bargain. My poor hero had fathered a daughter he knew nothing about. She is four years old when the story starts and she asks Santa for a Daddy for Christmas. And guess what – she gets her wish. It’s a long uphill struggle before her Mummy and Daddy finally get back together but love conquers all in the end.
So do you agree with me that Christmas is about family get togethers and not money? Or do you think Christmas is too commercialised these days? Would you like to fly away from it all and enjoy a holiday somewhere different? Email me your answers here and you could win a copy of my latest book – The Twelve-Month Marriage Deal. The perfect Christmas present to yourself!
Happy Christmas everyone!

Hello, Margaret! Merry Christmas to you!
I have always thought family to be important. My family is very close and holidays, birthdays, or just a Girls’ Day Out with my sisters and our mother are always fun and important to us.
We are expecting a major snowstorm on Christmas Eve and this is my year to have Christmas. My parents and two sisters all live an hour away in different directions and we are tentatively making plans to have our Christmas dinner on Sunday. It would mean so much for us to be together on Friday, but as long as we are together, safely, is all that matters.
Take care!
