Also being a fan of the British boys, I'll take Alan Rickman under my tree reading to me with that sexy voice from my Sony E-Reader, of course. <br /><br />As to the real wish, I've hinted broadly for a charm bracelet with charms to represent each of the books I have under contract- one is out already and two are coming out in 2011.

We do go back and visit (using the Ræliksen Time Travel Magik) about 3 or 4 times a month to see Tait,Ottar and all our friends...they love the gifts we bring. The Ræliksen Time Travel Magik allows us to let a few friends travel to see us 7 times a year. <br /><br />Dægan and I are happily married living in Malibu. I have my own cooking show on the Food Network, Mara's Irish Cuisine, and Dægan teaches Medieval History at UCLA...he loves his job. Dægan has traded in his longboat for a black Hummer...we do keep a yacht at Marina Del Ray and you can usually find us sailing on it every weekend.<br /><br />We have the best neighbors. On our left lives Eirik and his family and on our right is Gustaf...he's still single and looking...and Nevan and mom live on the other side of Gustaf...I think Rælik and Nanna are gonna buy the house that just went up for sale a few houses down the beach.<br /><br />We always celebrate Christmas at my house. I do all the cooking...because I love it and everyone loves my food. All of our friends from Inis Mór will be with us this year. I just know this is going to be the best Christmas of all time. I am so blessed. <br />Merry Christmas everyone.<br /><br />And since it's Christmas I will say a prayer for Domaldr's soul. He's still in San Quentin prison.<br /><br /><br /><br />My realistic Christmas wish:<br />Autographed copies of both Ræliksen and Mac Liam as well as a Celtic bracelet hand-made by Krist'y's Kreations and a Nook or Kindle.The Viking Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13225539857269326677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-467296852518035096.post-89493414182328123682010-12-14T14:52:54.781-05:002010-12-14T14:52:54.781-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.The Viking Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13225539857269326677noreply@blogger.com
