Happy holidays from us to you. Thank you for being a bright spot in the otherwise very difficult year. I promised you the pictures of the giant fake Christmas tree, and here they are.

We hope that you’ve enjoyed hanging out with us this year. ::hug:: Now it’s time for me to make pies and drink my tea.
We will see you on Friday.
Have a wonderful time with your family and loved ones, see you on Friday!

Merry Christmas to you and your family.

All the photos say “click to enlarge”. But I don’t think your tree needs to get any bigger!
Merry Christmas to House Andrews!
Merry Christmas and a happy new decade.
I’d love to see the tree with lights off. The last photo suggests lots of decorations as well as the lights.
Thank you for your books and stories. But also a big thank you for your blog. It has been a tough year for many of us and I have really appreciated the moments of joy, distraction that your blog has been for me.
Merry Christmas!! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas, and New Year’s, enjoying being with the ones that you love!
Wishing you and your loved ones a happy, peaceful, and safe holiday season, and a new year of much, much improved health, great joy, and even more success.

Happy baking! Have a terrific time with your family. Your writings often make my day thank you very much! As a BTW, my husband is now a great fan of your audiobooks. You had him at ‘Here kitty kitty’. ????
LoL!!
They had every one of the BDH at “Here kitty, kitty”. I just read Curran’s POV on that, and it’s hilarious. 😀
A very merry Christmas from me & my family (in Bristol, UK) to you & yours. 2019 has been a rough year for our family too so I wish everyone a happy, health & much less stressful 2020. Xxx
Happiest of holidays to you and your family! Thank you for the many gifts you give us throughout the year; your writing, your wit, your patient, or otherwise, (LOL) explanations. We love it all! Here’s to a new year with less stress!

Thank you for the gift of your writing which helped getting through 2019.
I’m loading the operating system on the “new” computers for the boys, then I have to make the pork pie (Christmas Eve Tradition) and then set up the sewing machine to get some pajama pants made (also a tradition).
It’ll all be fine, if Windows ever stops misbehaving. (HA!)( If not, no pajama pants until next week sometime.)
Your tree is beautiful, have a good holiday season. And thanks for the gift of the novella!!
(Hey! Windows decided to behave!!)
As I finish the chocolate cake, fudge and sourdough rolls, wishing you and yours a most Merry Christmas! It has been a fun year with you.
Merry Christmas!! ????
Have a wonderful Christmas with your family, relax and enjoy the festivities. Thank you for another year of your amazing stories xxx
Damn that’s a good tree.
I pray you are able to not be anxious (a struggle for me, for sure), and fully in the moment with your loved ones and celebrations.
We are thankful for the bright spots you bring to us as well. <3 Happy Christmas.
Happy Christmas!
Thank you for sharing your tree! It’s beautiful!
Your posts(both innkeeper and non) have been a bright spot and welcome distraction from some bad life stuff for me.
It’s beautiful!! Thank you for sharing your life with us!! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas to the Andrews family! Thank you for making my year better with all your work…it was a light in the darkness. Praying this next year is better for all of us!
Wow! It’s a magical tree. I hope your Christmas is filled with wonderful moments. You guys are some of the best people on the planet! Wishing all good things for you in 2020.
Sad note… Just saw that Johanna Lindsey died at age 67. She was one of my favorite authors. Still have some of her books that I bought 20+ years ago.
Oh no! I read her books too. I have a lot of them on my Nook. She was one of the first romance novelists I read when I was a teen. 🙁
☹ I didn’t realize that she was 67, but it still seems a bit young to die. I really enjoyed her books too.
The Malory series was a delight!
Hope you have a fantastic Christmas with your family.
????????????????
Your true looks magnificent.
Happy Christmas and best wishes for 2020
Sorry Tree!! Lol! Not true, doh!!
Thanks for the books, snippets and your stories. Have a wonderful Christmas time and a great year 2020.
Happy Christmas to House Andrews from another fan in the UK. I hope that 2020 is a less stressful year.
I really appreciate the new Innkeeper novella. Enjoy your break and especially your food and drink……
Merry Christmas and wishes for a much improved New Year. Thank you for being so generous with your time and amazing talents. I hope that all of House Andrews enjoys the holidays to the utmost.
+1 and Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas. Your tree looks amazing. I have had a fake tree for years. Need to get a bigger one now. You are giving me tree Envy. Happy new year.
Happy Christmas and here’s to a healthier, happier 2020.

Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Thank you for all the wonderful writing you share with us! Happiest of holidays to you and your family!
Merry Christmas to you all.
Lovely tree. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas. Enjoy the time together. I’m reading Small Magics – Curran’s POV. I was up later than I wanted to last night laughing. I’m reading the part when Curran and Mahone fought each other, and Martha came in scolding both of them like they were two misbehaving kids.
I hope next year will be a lot better than this one. If stuff happens, the BDH has your back. 🙂
BTW, I had my version of the galactic burger, fries, and Coke for lunch. It was a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder with Cheese and fries. My drink was unsweetened tea. Hmmm….I wonder where I got that idea from?????? 😀
Made homemade rolls this morning. In a little while, I’m going to warm up a spiral ham and make my own glaze with brown sugar and orange blossom honey.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thank you for a year with great adventures and epic battles! Here is to 2020 and more adventures and battles. Hope you and your family have a blessed holiday season.
Happy Holidays to you as well. I’m glad you blew the Christmas decoration budget on the tree. It is fabulous.
Have a wonderful holiday with family Andrews. ????????????

Merry Christmas to you all! 😀
We are also enjoying our (admittedly diddly 120cm) fake tree, and as it’s Christmas day here- I have the cooking going in full swing. Baked cobb loaf stuffed with ooey gooey brie and cranberry sauce and mini meat pies to nibble on for starters. Bourbon honey glazed ham, a bunch of salads (thanks to the toasty weather) for the main, followed up with good ol’ Aussie Pavlova and Pumpkin pie for the kiddo missing the USA. And bubbles- can’t forget the champers!
After that it’s going to have to be a coma on the sofa with the dogs as I’ll be incapable of moving 😀
May this holiday season, and the new year, bring you all the love, joy and happiness that you so freely gift to us xoxox
Merry Xmas from Australia enjoy your day
Happy holidays, enjoy your time with your family. May your holiday be a joyful and blessed with glad tidings.

We decided last minute to do a Christmas tree. Went to the back garden and rummaged around and found last year’s wet (& dried out) tree. We rubbed off the old needles & discovered the bark was soaked & peeling off to leave a beautiful smooth wood. Trimmed off the twiggy bits & a few branches to thin out & brought it in & decorated it! Done & looks lovely! 😀
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks to everyone who contributes to this blog. I feel blessed to be a part of this blog.

The tree looks gorgeous. Thanks for sharing! Hope you’ve had a wonderful day and not too stressful. My son asked for “mum’s scalloped potatoes” for the family gathering. Hoping her recipe works out tonight as it’s the first time I made it. What dish your do your kids request?
Happy Holidays! Thank you for all that you two do, and the fantastic writing.

Love the Innkeeper books even more than Kate Daniels. So from one pie maker to another, what did you make? I did pumpkin, pecan (with praline liquor) and “crack” pie. The crack pie was pretty good and very different.
In any case Merry Christmas!
Let me add the website for Crack pie. https://butternutbakeryblog.com/crack-pie/
Merry Christmas!! Wow! Now THAT is a tree! Good job!!
Thanks for the joy you bring us with your writing and your witty blog! I know it must be tough with all the deadlines (self-imposed and otherwise) but we really appreciate it.
Merry Christmas!
Wish you a wealthy, peaceful, lively and joyful new year.Live well
