'Tis the Season

For what?

I want to know.

You tell me.

Seriously.

During this crazy month of December, 'tis the season for what when it comes to your writing and/or illustrating?

I mean, I don't know what it's like at your house, but at mine (on top of typical daily doings) it's been: at least one sick person at all times; Christmas decorations; a gazillion school projects for the kids; cookie baking; gatherings; and holiday tasks I've yet to accomplish (gifts and cards). Plus, it's freezing out there. Phew!

So, if your house is at all like mine, what does that mean for your work and how you feel about it?

Does it make you want to lock yourself away with your computer and get lost in your writing?

Curl up in front of the fire with a great book?

Completely focus on the holiday season and forget about writing for the month?

Eat lots of cookies and drink lots of Nog?

Now, spill! Not your Nog, but your thoughts. I want to know.
