Welcome to Santa Watch

81 Views

Happy holidays, all! Today is the fourth day of Hannukah, and the morning before Christmas Eve. What a joyous season. And what a bag of goodies Coffee Time Romance has to give away! Thanks to our guests, we’re going to make Santa’s job a little easier this year—though some of our giveaways are for the naughty boys and girls who might not have made Santa’s nice list. Well, Santa is a jolly soul and he understands better than anyone that a little naughty keeps us young.

Our giveaways include print and digital books, jewelry, Christmas ornaments, clairvoyant readings, music and gift certificates. Our Kindle grand prize is sponsored by Grace Burrowes. Thank you, Grace! There really is something for everyone here at Coffee Time Romance today.

 

I’m kicking off this early hour with a giveaway of my novella The Pendulum

 

 

Two Men.

Two murderers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two demands for the promised payment of marriage.

Murder,deceit, and fraud pull Lady Arin Keith between these men.

Which one will bed her, claim her…own her?

According to NORAD, Santa is currently in Fiji, and is headed for our Australian friends. Woo hoo!

Leave a comment letting me know if you've caught sight of Santa yet. He’s a sneaky devil, the way he slips in and out of homes. If you haven't seen him yet, check out our direct feed to NORAD's tracker. Watch out NORAD! Coffee Time Romance is riding your wave.

 

A couple of Santa Watch rules:

All winners are chosen via a random number generator and will be contacted by email. If we don’t hear from the winners within 48 hours, another winner will be chosen. Our grand prize winner is chosen from all commenters. Good luck!

    Haha!  So funny, due to my insomnia, I've been tracking Santa since about 3am!  The novel idea of it still hasn't changed from when my dad used to pull it up on the computer as a kid!:-)  He appears to be on his way to Vanuatu now!:-)

  • Mary

    I think I see him in my kitchen reaching for his coffee!  Wait, that's me!  Just dashing out to get a few things and will be home by noon to start my watch.  Enjoy!

  • MelissaAlvarez

    Good Morning Tarah!! Merry Christmas Eve. I'm a little late getting here and will be popping in throughout the day but am looking forward to Santa Watch!

    Good morning, ladies! You're early birds like me. Heh heh. Welcome to Santa Watch.

  • Missy

    I definitely made Santas naughty list this year! But, you're right, it does keep us young. Naughty is much more fun anyways:)  (Good thing the kids can't see me typing this!!!)

  • Judi, Judi, Judi

    Just crawled out of bed, let the dogs out.  Brrrr!  The hustled right back inside.  Headed to the kitchen for coffee.

  • vonna1970

    good morning and Merry Christmas.   Kids losing their minds, baking cookies, reindeer snacks all projects for today checked off

  • KyAnn

    Good Morning Tarah,
    I just brewed my favorite Starbucks Christmas blend. (so i'll be fully awake soon)

    Hey, Louise! So nice to see tyou.
    Louise, a suspicious person casing out the joint. Oh! That Santa!

  • Wendy Owen

    Even though I am old enough to be on my 3rd cup of coffee and be waiting for 4 grandsons to get out of bed to watcht the reindeer cam, I still love to track santa! It makes my soul feel warm. 🙂 Merry Christmas everyone!

  • Tarah Scott
    AUTHOR

    Well said, Wendy.

  • Lexie C.

    I'm fairly certain Santa won't pop up in my house until I get the baking underway–he always seems to sneak in each year to gobble half the cookies on the platter when my back is turned taking the pies out of the oven….

  • Melissa_Bell

    Good Morning Tara the and Everyone! Got my coffee in one hand and my binoculars in the other!
    Annie and I from Etopia Press are looking forward to some fun with everyone!

  • Barbara

    …heading out soon to hit the road to see family, so, won't be able to join the watch for long.  You'll have to keep a watch out for the 'jolly ole elf' without me.  But, wanted to drop in and say Hi… 

  • Sunshyn V

    No sign of him here yet, but he still has time…

  • Fedora

    Thanks for the giveaway…nice way to start off Christmas Eve.  No sightings in North Texas yet…..we have quite a few hours before the big guy makes it our way.  The weather is cooperating and no snow yet…but the kids have their fingers and toes crossed.
    Happy and Safe Hollidays to all!

      Where in North Texas are you? I’m originally from down south in Corpus.

  • Margaret Smith

    Haven't seen Santa yet.  Usually he comes when we're at mass on Christmas Eve.  When we come home, the gifts are usually under the tree.  Kids are so excited (and wound right now).  Can't help being excited too.
    Happy Holidays and thanks for the giveaway.

  • Jason Vaughn

    Santa is still a ways off but I have my eyes on him. He won't get past me! Bwahahahahaha

    • Tarah Scott
      AUTHOR

      Now that will definitely get you on the Naughty List…unless it’s what you plan to do to him that gets you into trouble.

  • Robin

    I saw on the tracker that he's near Mazar-e Sharif, Afghanistan. I've have a little time left to finish baking his cookies!
     

    • Tarah Scott
      AUTHOR

      With all those cookies, it’s not wonder Santa is so jolly!

  • Joanne B

    Santa is a multi-tasker as are we all. Trying to finish wrapping gifts and make Christmas Eve dinner. Also trying to find some alone time for myself.
