There’s nothing like a little flour on your hands
to start “Jingle Bells” ringing in your head.
The tradition in my house goes this way:
First put on an album of Christmas music.
It isn’t possible to work over a hot oven without the proper setting.

A Fulfilling Career
The story Nora Roberts likes to tell of her transformation from harried homemaker to
published novelist reads like something from one of her novels:
Stuck at home with her two young sons during a 1979 snowstorm,
the Silver Spring native started writing longhand,
and the epiphany hit:
“ ‘This is it . This is the thing I am meant to do.’

She needed a life, something more than clocking time, drawing a paycheck
that would be soaked up by bills.
She needed, however self-help-book it sounded,
something that fulfilled and challenged her.
