And I agree; it'd be amazing to get together with so many bloggers we've met through this journey. :) <br /><br />Looks like you've enjoyed some fun experiences latest. Plus, how exciting to learn you have another novel coming. Congrats - and best of luck with that third novel. Hope it's a smooth journey for you. :) <br /><br />Thanks so much for your recent visits to Dreaming Under the Same Moon. You're always welcome. :)Rissihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378400717440822186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-11276220673144413962015-11-16T12:16:39.059-08:002015-11-16T12:16:39.059-08:00Lol!

I have onviously been in Europe for way too long...<br /><br />Tis the Season to be Gotee Too is a Christian Christmas album.

You can answer the convo starters on your blog or through the comments; it doesn't matter. =) <br /><br />Oh, that's a really good point you made about Thanksgiving. Although I do see both Thanksgiving and Christmas as holidays in which we express our gratitude for our friends and family, it is important that we don't become so eager to receive our Christmas gifts that we "skip" Thanksgiving and neglect to realize how blessed we already are. Thanks for pointing this out!<br /><br />Don't worry -- as I mentioned to Savannah, I've yet to participated in NaNo. Lol! I love the idea, but it's never come at a good time in my writing journey. <br /><br />Ohhhh yum!! That sounds amazing. Now I'm really looking forward to the Thanksgiving meal, lol!<br /><br />No problem, Joni! Thanks for participating. =) <br /><br />TessaTessa Emily Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625256104634830104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-29695788267864718122015-11-16T11:01:55.591-08:002015-11-16T11:01:55.591-08:00I love Francesca Battistelli's Christmas album...I love Francesca Battistelli's Christmas album! (Don't worry, I had to do a Google search to see how her name is spelled. Lol!) <br /><br />Don't feel bad about NaNoWriMo. Honestly, I've yet to participate at all! It always sounds like a great idea, but it never comes at a good time. The past couple of months I've participated in my own NaNoWriMo to finish my second novel. And now that it's complete, I'm having to get caught up in some other work, take a little break from the writing cave, and brainstorm for Purple Moon's sequel. You can have your own NaNo any time of the year! =) <br /><br />TessaTessa Emily Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625256104634830104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-84362128004739152712015-11-16T10:58:04.565-08:002015-11-16T10:58:04.565-08:00I'm glad you like it, Micaiah!

It spreads the holidays out a bit more and puts me in the Christmas spirit. =) In my opinion, when Starbucks releases their seasonal lattes, then it's officially okay to begin the Christmas festivities. Lol!<br /><br />Oh, I have that novel by Melody Carlson! I haven't read it yet, but now that you mentioned it, I might add it on my to-read list for this Christmas. I love Elf! That's definitely one of my absolute favorite Christmas movies too, haha. =) Is Tis the Season to be Gotee Too a Christian Christmas album? I love both Capital Kings and Jamie Grace. <br /><br />Again, I look forward to reading your novella next month as apart of the Write Now course!<br /><br />TessaTessa Emily Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625256104634830104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-91365934962138507852015-11-16T10:52:11.742-08:002015-11-16T10:52:11.742-08:00Hi, Savannah!

It was such a beautiful film!<br /><br />In my opinion, listening to Christmas music before Thanksgiving is perfectly fine. It doesn't take away the fact that we still celebrate Thanksgiving--it just helps to make Christmas seem even longer. And that's never a bad thing! ;) <br /><br />My birthday is December 2nd. Thanks for asking! <br /><br />I'm sorry you don't have a blog, but feel free to participate through the comments. =) <br /><br />TessaTessa Emily Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625256104634830104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-12989111253880497042015-11-16T09:39:43.142-08:002015-11-16T09:39:43.142-08:00I did a post, but I'm afraid I misunderstood t...I did a post, but I'm afraid I misunderstood the "convo starters" questions and answers some there... Whoops... I'll answer the ones I didn't here in the comments. ^^<br />#2: I don't have any problem with people shopping for Christmas or singing carols early, but I do think Thanksgiving needs the proper amount of attention- meaning, before we get to the giving-and receiving, we make sure to see and be grateful for what we have. <br />#4: I did/am not participating in NaNoWriMo this round, though I have before. It just didn't work in my schedule this time.<br />#5: My Thanksgiving meal is pretty traditional... turkey, potatoes, gravy (and MORE gravy), vegetables, and PIE.<br /><br />That's so neat that you got to participate in that film. I'm curious to see it!<br />And thanks for a fun, blog-community-tag-thing. I'm looking forward to participating and meeting some other bloggers!Jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451808186040055044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-22011569577490185982015-11-14T14:05:02.201-08:002015-11-14T14:05:02.201-08:00If I could be a character in any book ... ooo, tha...If I could be a character in any book ... ooo, that's tough :). I would really like to be one of the elves from LOTR, but it would take me half a year to really settle my mind on who I would want to be :D. <br />One of my favorite Christmas songs is 'Marshmallow World' by Francesca Battistelli (no clue if I spelled her name right), it's one that always makes me think of Christmas, no matter when it is being played!<br />No, sadly I'm not doing NaNoWriMo this year, but I'm hoping to be able to do it next year! <br />~Savannah Perran Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-66718646552646906862015-11-14T13:36:43.704-08:002015-11-14T13:36:43.704-08:00I really like this post and the idea of Coffee Sho...I really like this post and the idea of Coffee Shop Chats!

My family doesn't pull out the decor and all that, but no one objects to me singing "Little Drummer Boy" at the top of my lungs. And I did pull out my Santa hat...<br /><br />My favorite Christmas novel is probably The Christmas Bus by Melody Carson. My favorite Christmas movie is Elf. I love the Christmas album Tis the Season to be Gotee Too, produced by Gotee Records. The Capital Kings and Jamie Grace songs on it are my fave!<br /><br />I'm not doing NanoWriMo this year, but am instead writing a historical fiction novella to enter in a contest.Micaiah Saldañahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429189684296844482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-88732202511965810652015-11-14T08:39:29.810-08:002015-11-14T08:39:29.810-08:00Ooo, I like your coffee shop chat idea, Tessa!

Still, I'll have fun looking at other coffee shop chat posts. <br />Providence sounds amazing, I bet you had a lot of fun being a part of it! <br />You're listening to Lauren Daigle? I love some of her songs :). And the time of year when you can listen to Christmas songs is a wonderful time of year, I love Christmas music! <br />Ooo, you're going to be 22? When's your birthday? <br />Thanks for doing this post by the way, I had a ton of fun reading it :). <br /><br />~Savannah Perran Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-3161845301965522292015-11-13T08:16:07.015-08:002015-11-13T08:16:07.015-08:00Thanks, Maddie!
