Thank you for the many wonderful comments on the Holiday Wish List blog. Many entries were quite touching.
I wish I were a handyman who could fix that broken toilet mentioned in the comments. I also appreciate the selflessness of those who truly have the welfare of others on their minds this holiday season.
I would like to announce two winners to the contest: ncgrlfrnd and anggiet. Each will receive a copy of my book Blue Ridge Reunion and two of my CDs. The winners should send me their addresses so I can put their packages in the mail this week. My email address is bleslie@wral.com
Also, if anyone would like to purchase a personally signed copy of my coffee table book and CDs just drop me a line at bleslie10@gmail.com and I fill the orders promptly. I am spending this week completing a number of personal orders. They make excellent gifts for the holidays.
Today's question: What North Carolina town has the best holiday decorations? Please share your thoughts.
