December - A Month Filled With Holidays by @Donna_Fasano
I realize it is very early in
the month, but I only get one day in December to blog so I’d like to spend it
talking about the holidays. I love celebrating the season of Advent, the 26
days before Christmas that are spent in prayerful contemplation as we await Christmas,
one of the holiest days of the year for Christians.
However, I have friends and family who celebrate their own cherished holidays during December. I am always surprised by the number of religious and secular celebrations that take place this month. Here’s a list of a few of them.
- Hanukkah is the well-known Jewish holiday also known as the Festival
of Lights.
- Kwanzaa is a Pan-African holiday that’s celebrated in the U.S.
from the 26th of December until the 1st of January.
- Buddhists celebrate Bodhi Day on the 8th, celebrating the day Buddha became enlightened.
- Las Posadas takes place between the 16th and the 24th
as a house-to-house procession of celebration and prayer in a re-enactment of Mary
and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem.
- Hindus spend 5 days this month celebrating Pancha Ganapati, honoring Ganesha, which begins on the 21st.
- The Winter Solstice, also known as Mother’s Night, Mōdraniht,
Yalda, and other names, is a holiday that takes place on or around the
21st and is celebrated by many people, religious and secular, alike.
- Boxing Day (the 26th) and Human Right’s Day
(the 10th) are both secular celebrations that, in my opinion, honoring
our friendships and concern of others.
- Humanists celebrate “a vision of a good future” on the 23rd called Human Light.
- December 31st—New Year’s Eve to most of us—is observed and celebrated the whole world over and is also known as Ōmisoka (Japanese), Hogmanay (Scottish), and Silvester (Eastern Europe). This is a time for fireworks, feasting, and late-night revelry.
And these are only a fraction of the holidays that take place this month. If you’d like to learn more, go tothis extensive list of multinational holidays and festivals. Whichever celebrations you commemorate this month, please know I send you my…
Warmest Holiday Wishes!
I am offering several holiday
stories on sale for just 99¢. I hope you’ll look for them.

Her Mr. Miracle - New Release by Donna Fasano @DonnaFaz #SweetRomance
I’m excited to share my New
Release with you. Her Mr. Miracle is the 8th book in my Ocean City Boardwalk
Series. Please note that the first 3 books in the series are contemporary
romance novels and might be a little more steamy than Sweet Romance Readers might
prefer; however, all the other books in the series (Books 4 through 8) are
sweet, stand-alone stories that I know you’ll enjoy.
The awesome thing about Her
Mr. Miracle is that the story went in directions I was not expecting. I love it
when that happens. One secondary character in particular showed up out of the
blue, and she made a decision that I found, well… shocking. But once the scenes
were written, I found myself coming to a place of compassion and understanding
for her.
Here’s a little more about
Her Mr. Miracle:
Veronica “Ronnie” Clark has had it up to here with her family. So she shoves her suitcase into the trunk of her car along with that billowy, lacy, monstrosity of a bridal gown and hits the road. Unfortunately, her old Volvo gives out, leaving her stranded on Christmas Eve in the nearly deserted seaside town of
And like Christmas magic, her Mr. Miracle appears. Adam Rone stops to offer her assistance, and once the tow truck drives away with the Volvo, he suggests she stay at Ocean Dreams, the hotel he owns and operates in the tourist town.
Ronnie is drawn to the compassionate single dad, and the attraction they feel is undeniable. But when she learns all he’s going through to keep his family together, she can’t bring herself to reveal to him that she’s running from hers. All she wants is for him to take her in his arms and kiss her, but he keeps asking about that stupid wedding dress!

Toe-Curling Blueberry Muffins
I’m currently writing a
Christmas Novella that will be available on Dec. 1st. My hero, Adam,
offers the heroine, Veronica, a blueberry muffin and tells her, “It’s so good,
it’ll make your toes curl.” However, HE is what makes her toes curl… his smile,
his touch, his kiss.
The recipe for Toe-Curling
Blueberry Muffins will be included in the book, but why wait? Now that
September has arrived with its cooler temperatures, we can turn on the oven and
begin baking again. I love a blueberry muffin that has a crumble topping! I
hope you do, too.
Toe-Curling Blueberry Muffins
Makes 8 large muffins
For the muffin batter:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 cup fresh or frozen
blueberries
For the topping:
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1.
Preheat oven to
400° F. Prepare muffin pan by spraying with cooking spray.
2.
To make muffin
batter: combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl,
combine the oil, milk, and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir
just until all the dry ingredients are incorporated. Do not over mix. Gently
stir in the blueberry just until they are well distributed. Do not mash the
fruit.
3.
To make topping:
in a small bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Add the softened
butter and stir with a fork until all ingredients are combined. Topping will be
crumbly.
4.
Fill the muffing
tins to the top with batter and top each muffin with a heaping tablespoon of
topping. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the muffins
comes out clean.
Here's a sneak peek at my new cover.

email address with anyone. Ever.
