Take a Break – Have a Good Read during the Holidays

rosieThe leaves are falling off the trees and somewhere out west snow if falling in the mountains.  And unless you live underground or are unplugged you have already seen Christmas commercials and goodies in the stores.  The holidays are  definitely upon us bringing a delightful time of the year.  While you are out shopping don’t forget to take some time for yourself.  Take a break, pour a cup of something warm and curl up with a good book.  Here are some suggestions for a light read for the holidays.
