Good MORRRRNING!
Gosh it feels so good to get up first thing and get some exercise in…to get the body moving and the blood pumping!
This week is going to be so much fun with the family…AND I’m working on the plans and schedule for 2025. That has me excited, let me tell you! Those 2025 plans are all motivated by what I want to craft for you, and the expanded experiences I’d like to craft.
Lots and lots of storytelling. That’s the goal.
Specifics will come later, but for now, I’d love to hear what kind of Holiday Traditions or activities you do? Share, share, share. I’m aways hunting for fin ideas to expand the family time I have with my wife and children. So help me out!
Have a great day and week!
Gosh, only one more week until Christmas!!!
Oh, hey, if you haven’t found a fun gift fr your teen and they like fantasy, consider getting them ‘Choices’ from Chronicles of a Hero….
…and if you want some fun for the younger one, there is Season One of The Underlings…a.k.a. ‘The Awakening’..available in digital, print and audio.
There are many choices on the publication page. Check it out if you haven’t so far. We’re so close to Christmas that purchasing a digital, instant-download/audio gift is likely your only option at this point….but hey, it’s here for later. Don’t panic =)
Until Next Time,
Jaime *the-Christmas-Lights-lurker* Buckley

...I hope you're having a fantastic holiday season?!
I'm so excited for 2025...and the treats that will be included.
Hey, my friend, yes to enjoying the holidays! I love Christmas and I was ready early. :) So, I'm at the enjoying it all phase. Have a wonderful Christmas and congrats on your gift -- Number 30 is mind-blowingly amazing! New baby smell on it's way!
Oh, gosh, I don’t know about Christmas plans and cover ideas, but oh my goodness I could listen to funny farm animal stories all day! More of those tales for next Christmas goes on my wishlist! That was awesome 👏 Thank you 😊
What a heartwarming Morning Coffee. Thank you! This Christmas season has been one of the best ever for me. . . We gave all of our kids an early Christmas present last Friday, which was also our oldest son’s birthday. We bought them tickets for the North Pole Limited, so all six kids (ours and our in-law kids) and all four grandsons — with one more grandson on the way. Twelve of us piled into the tiny seats of a train car built in the early 1800s for a 90 minute journey to the North Pole to pick up the Clauses, the grandkids all sugared up with hot cocoa and chocolate chip cookies, each handed a set of large reindeer bells. What an absolute joy! Really really glad we did that. I loved hearing about your traditions. It has been a very good year, hasn’t it? Merry Christmas!
...one of the best ever?!?? YAY!!
Wait. That sounds absolutely amazing!

This looks so incredible...and something I'd love to do for our kids and grandkids.
Hmmm. That's roughly $1800 just for my family tickets...then GETTING there....
Ah well, I'm gonna have to live through you for now (grin).
That sounds like the most magical holiday adventure I've heard yet!
Thank you for sharing =)
Not that extravagant, haha! This is the one in Campo, CA https://www.psrm.org/npl/
They drove there themselves, too.
But I guess it would be for a family your size!
