Deck the House With Garland!

PictureChristmas Garland
If you come to my house right now you will see red, gold, and silver garland in just about every room.

I don’t know what it is about garland, but when it comes to decorating the house for the Christmas holidays, I bring out my entire collection of garland and place it in, on, and around the entire house. I am comforted by the intriguing festoon of slithery ribbons that move with every breeze, capturing every glint of light with those shimmery slithers of ribbons.

T
he scenery around here is festive. The mood is happy, humble, and grateful to be surrounded by the love of family and friends.

Time to Celebrate
From January to December, I work hard. By the time the holidays come around, I am ready to take a break from the work I love and spend more time with the people I love.

So, I’m signing off for the holidays, making travel arrangements to visit loved ones and to celebrate with the people who are here for me through the good times and the bad times. These are my folks. I love them so much. I look forward to being with them.

I will return to blogging, writing, and audiobook productions in the coming year of 2015. Until then, I wish you a very merry Christmas and hope you have a wonderful new year.

    Recommended Recources

    When I need answers to my writing questions, I refer to resources that have served me well as a technical writer in the past and as a freelance writer now. The following books sit on my bookshelf ready for use at my demand. When working with clients, you will need to adhere to the client’s style guide for how they want their documents to be formatted. As a freelance writer, you have the liberty of setting up your own style guide. The following resources offer excellent information on grammar and punctuation styles that are most common to writing for United States publishing standards.

    Any one or all of the following books are valuable books to have on your bookshelf at all times:

    Strunk and White's Elements of Style

    The Chicago Manual of Style

    Associated Press Stylebook
