They were delighted to pick out gifts that they
themselves would like such as a Barbie or a Batman toy. We would then donate
them to a toy drive or a women’s shelter. We would also pick out some
non-perishable foods for the local food pantry; and we always picked up some treats
for the local animal shelter.
I think this helped instill in them an appreciation for
the satisfaction and happiness you get when you give to others. When both were
in college, they were active in their university charities which raised money
for children with cancer.
To this day, we all give to various charities around the
holidays.
No matter what holiday you celebrate, it’s important to
remember that some people are struggling, or alone, and the holidays are
especially difficult for them.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
My first published romance, Lights of Love, was a Hanukkah
reunion story. I decided to do another holiday book since I love to read all
kinds of holiday stories during the holidays! A Christmas Carol has
always been a favorite, and I enjoyed the movie about how Charles Dickens wrote
it (The Man Who Invented Christmas)
which I saw with a writer friend.
While searching for characters to celebrate Hanukkah, I wondered
what would happen if a hero had the 8 nights of Hanukkah to convince the
heroine he loved her. And so...Eight Nights to Win Her Heart was
born!
Here's the back cover blurb:
Roslyn Stein is convinced that her boyfriend Ben Jaffe will never
marry. Ben’s parents’ contentious divorce left him with emotional scars.
But Ben doesn’t want to lose Roslyn. So he asks her to give him
the eight nights of Hanukkah, to prove he really does love her and deserves
another chance.
As they light the candles on the menorah each night, Roslyn
struggles with the decision of whether to let him back into her life. And Ben
realizes how much she really does mean to him.
Will Ben be able to win Roslyn’s heart again?
