Welcome! Christmastime has always been my favorite time of the year! I love everything about it ... the cooler weather; snow; gatherings with friends, family and loved ones; sharing good food; exchanging meaningful gifts; decorating the house and the tree; the smell of woodsmoke in the air ... the list goes on.
Having a multitude of heritages (Italian, Russian, Irish, English, French and Spanish) in our family, we share several traditions during this time of year ... from St. Nicholas Day on December 6th to Eastern Orthodox Christmas in January!
I love learning about various holiday traditions so I thought this would be the perfect venue to share our own with one another.

Here's an little bit about Skin Deep ...
Emily Monroe, a statuesque high school English teacher, is
convinced that getting a tattoo to cover the remnants of her brush with Morphea
is the only option left to open the door to self-acceptance, allowing her to
finally move on with her life after the devastating diagnosis left more than
physical scars in its wake.
Rick Sutton, owner of Skin Deep, a successful tattoo shop,
has his own cross to bear. Crippling guilt and the specter of unrequited
justice overshadow every aspect of his life, trapping him within the haunted
corridors of his heart and soul; until the day Emily walks into his shop.
Instantly, he recognizes a kindred spirit in Emily, and a
tenuous bond is formed. When the intimidating yet teddy-bear of a man offers
her a glimpse into his passionate side, she is moved by what she sees and takes
a leap of faith. Together they traverse the physical and emotional journey of
freeing themselves of their perceived flaws, an erotic undertaking that proves
to them beauty is only Skin Deep.
