My favorite place to buy books is Barnes and Noble. I love to go and browse. Target seems to have a large selection of books as well.
I think Christmas From The Heart means a time for family and traditions : certain foods/desserts, when you open gifts, etc. Celebrate being together. Family is love..and of course the birth of baby Jesus.

Since we longer have a decent bookstore close to home, I order on-line from Barnes & Noble, Amazon or Wal Mart.

Christmas from the Heart means to me...the true meaning of Christmas: celebrating the birth of Jesus & knowing that Jesus lives in my heart!

Chapters/Indigo or Walmart in Canada is where I usually buy books. I believe Christmas is always from the heart by celebrating with family and friends! What we do for them at Christmas is done with ❤️ love!

My favorite place is get books is Books A Million and my local bookstore called the coffee cherry and book store. Christmas from the heart to me means. Spending time with family and just being with each other. It also means Celebrating Jesus's birthday.

When I order books on line it’s usually from Amazon and Walmart. I also love the ambience of the “old time bookstores “ unfortunately there aren’t any in my area. Christmas from the heart means giving of yourself whether that means giving your time or talent or something that only you can do and want nothing in return.

I purchased books from Amazon and sometimes Walmart. Christmas from the heart means to bring joy and happiness to people. We like to get names from the Angel tree and purchased toys and clothes to help the little angels have a Merry Christmas.

I buy books from Target & Amazon. Christmas from the heart means celebrating the birth of baby Jesus. Also spending time with family & friends following old traditions & maybe throwing in a new tradition.One of my favorite things is hearing the sounds of children's laughter when they are opening presents especially my grandson.

I get most of my books from Kobo and amazon, I also frequent my local library and when we do buy books my sister and I share.
Christmas was never about gifts for me I love the family and friends time and share stories and what is going on in our lives. Our children and grand children great food and lots of hugs and laughter. Both of my parents have passed away so we always tell stories of when they were alive some funny some no so much. things were hard as farmers so maybe that's why I love reading and knowing someone else had ups and downs too. I love not having to wait a year for your next book thank you for sharing your gift with all your readers.

Christmas from the heart to me was when my whole family would gather at my parent's house on Christmas Eve and load all the gifts under the tree. We'd share. Smorgasbord of food and drinks and lots of laughs of Christmas pasts. The children would be brought upstairs by the oldest child to watch for Santa. We'd all open gifts and sing carols. It was a special feeling in our hearts to be together each year. Seeing more and more generations come. But the year my mom died and her mom died 23 days after, that magic ended. It has been so hard to get "that feeling" again. I was so blessed to have had it for 38 yrs.

I split my book buying between Target, Walmart and Amazon! If there are a lot of new releases by several of my favorite authors I will wait until they are all released then binge buy 5-6 at a time...(thus getting free shipping as I don’t do Amazon Prime). Otherwise I regularly check the grocery stores, plus Target and Walmart to see if I’ve missed anything!!! As far as Christmas From the Heart, I try to minimize the “stuff” and commercialization and do something or give something that is meaningful to the recipients...a kind word, a handmade gift, things like that!

I just started reading one of your books. It is Tea Shop on Lavender Lane. I was looking for a new author and saw this book

Shirley Schmeyer

Christmas from the Heart to me means sharing the true meaning of Christmas thru the gift of Church and gifts. Watching children as their eyes sparkle with the lights and the magic of a Christmas tree on Christmas morning. I purchase most of my books on Amazon and love to shop at Barnes and Noble.

Mary Mannella

CHRISTMAS FROM THE HEART MEANS FAMILY & GIFT FROM GOD. I SHOP AT BARNES AND NOBLE AND THE GROCERY STORE.

Linda Dreher

10/1/2019 10:25:38 am

I buy my books from Amazon.
Christmas from the Heart means giving to those who are less fortunate the gifts they want. We have a Christmas Angel Tree at church and you pick a boy or girl and their age and buy an appropriate gift for that age. It means sharing meals with friends and family, and a meal with the homeless people or less fortunate people. I love to share myself in doing volunteering for gift and food giveaways. I also donate to Samaritans Purse that gives gifts to children in foreign country's with the gospel of Christ.

Maureen

Usually purchase from Amazon and sometimes from Harlequin directly. If I buy in a store, it's either Walmart or BJs. Ordered the book from Harlequin and waiting for it to arrive.

Susan Wilkinson

10/1/2019 11:12:24 am

Order a lot from Amazon, love the atmosphere at Barnes & Noble, get coupons from Books-a-Million but the one I go to has downsized my sections. Christmas, the heart is open and giving.

Sandra Bensley

10/1/2019 11:14:31 am

My favorite place to purchase books Amazon or Barnes & Noble, but I also like Half Price Books. What does Christmas from the heart mean to me? Two things, something that has been homemade, that's straight from the heart for sure. The other is something that is so "the person" that you know the giver has taken time to really give you something heartfelt and special. That could even be a book, those to me mean that someone knows me and takes the time to really look for that 'heartfelt' gift.

Diana Hardt

10/1/2019 11:31:47 am

My favorite place to get books is at Barnes & Noble, although occasionally at Target, Walmart, and the library. Christmas from the Heart means spending time with family and friends and helping my Dad make his Christmas cookies.

I usually buy at Amazon.

Christmas from the Heart means giving, and remember why we give, is more important than to receive when it comes to gifts. It's thoughtfulness, kindness throughout the season, and love.

Cindy Dearden

10/1/2019 02:35:14 pm

I get most of my books at Coles books store. It's the only book store in town. I just love all your books. They make me feel so good when I read them. Thanks!

Stores I like are JC Penney and Amazon. Christmas from the heart means to me that you are true to the meaning of Christmas, not just buying and giving gifts, Giving some of your time or money towards like Salvation Army, or Angel Tree. Also remember the past and do things with your family to remember the past like decorating Christmas cookies, going to church, and decorating the tree together

Vicki Boyd

10/1/2019 06:26:07 pm

I'm honestly a second hand, hardcover book lover and collector and love to hunt them down at yard sales and thrift stores but I do occasionally read books on iBooks or Amazon.
I think Christmas from the Heart is just that. You make and create the holiday you imagine and love, to share with family and friends.

Gail Hollingsworth

10/1/2019 07:33:08 pm

Brick and mortar bookstores are getting harder and harder to find. We have a Barnes and Noble in Tuscaloosa but that’s all. I order online a lot mostly from Amazon. Also seek books at Walmart or Sam’s Club.

Pat McCray

10/1/2019 08:27:37 pm

I've always had a hard time getting into the Christmas Spirit as so many things (not too good) have happen in my life at that time of year. I always put on a good face for the kids while they were young but they saw through it as they grew older and then began to ask questions ( I was honest for the most of it) and they understood. I have love all your books as they make me feel as if I am in it going and doing what all the characters are doing. Thanks for all the good times. Keep on writing as I will keep on smiling. Have a wonderful Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas. Hugs.

To me, Christmas From The Heart means sharing your holiday with your family and friends. Also doing something nice for someone who isn't expecting it.

Clare O'Beara

10/2/2019 11:57:00 am

I tend to buy old books on Amazon so new books would be bought in a local bookstore like Easons or Hodges Figgis where I can help to employ people.

Christmas from the heart - a thoughtful and loving way of helping others to enjoy Christmas, not just about any one aspect of the season.

Carolyn Ferguson

10/2/2019 02:24:36 pm

Most of the time I get your books from my library where I work or from our local Walmart Store. This is what Christmas from the Heart means to me. it is sharing of time with a loved one or giving a gift to a person who maybe without like baskets of food or clothing to a family in need with toys for the little ones in the family or taking blankets to shelters for animals or the most meaningful is giving of yourself and not getting anything in return but love that is what Christmas from the heart means to me!!!

Lori R

10/2/2019 05:15:37 pm

I like Amazon because there are no bookstores near me.Christmas from the heart means family to me and giving instead of receiving.

Peggy Clayton

10/2/2019 08:36:33 pm

I buy my books from amazon as I have RSD and can't drive anymore and i do have a friend that comes out on WED and we do errands and the dinner and after crafts but some wed she has something else to do like this wed, So it is better for me to get the books I want at Amazon in print. That way I know they are there and also I write reviews for ever book I read so it is easier to submit a review to them. My fingers are crippled and i always get print books,If i happen to be in a drug store and they have a book I want then I do get it there as long as the walk is close to them. Thanks peggy Clayton

Barbara Ahrndt

Christmas means cooking cookies, cheese straws and the red velvet cake. Spending time with family and of course the bingo game on Christmas Eve night. The grandsons love that. To add to my joy, I love reading Christmas books and start early. I am reading Christmas from the Heart now.

I shop at Walmart and Barnes &Noble. I really haven't tried online buying yet. Strange right. Christmas from the Heart means to me a gathering of family. More so than a giving of gifts. Which I do. No more than 3 per close family member. I just like my close family to get together for Christmas.

SARAH TAYLOR

Sandra Taylor

11/1/2019 08:56:37 am

I get most of my books at Walmart or Amazon since the big bookstores have left our area.

Christmas From the Heart means you give thought and care to people in need and the and to those you are buying gifts for, not just buy something because you feel you have to. Do it with love.

Sheila Siarkiewicz

11/1/2019 08:57:24 am

I like to shop for books at Barnes & Noble, Sam's Club, Costco, or anywhere I can physically touch the book. I do buy favorite authors from Amazon also.
Christmas From the Heart to me means spending time with loved ones, It also means giving to those less fortunate...whether it's a monetary donation, a gift, or volunteering.

Janet Bunbuc

Ann Diener

11/1/2019 04:13:11 pm

I do most of my book shopping online with Amazon (I have several ereaders). I shop at Barnes and Noble for actual books.
Christmas from the Heart for me means that there is a lot of sentimentality involved in selecting---or hand making--a gift for the recipient. It takes lots of thought and time to make a perfect fit for them.

Susan Wilkinson

11/1/2019 04:58:43 pm

Mostly Amazon due to prices. From the heart, making others happy.

Danielle Williams

I enjoy purchasing your books from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, BAM & Walmart.
Christmas from the heart means extending your love to everyone (homeless too) family & friends. It's the most wonderful time of the year to share not only your love, but your money. Doesn't have to be a lot just share in the giving to help those in need.

Annette OMullan

11/1/2019 08:18:24 pm
