You've probably caught on by now that I'm a huge nerd. I don't try to hide it. I display collectibles all year round, but then there's the holidays. I love finding cute ornaments and knick-knacks that combine the holidays with my geek side. Given that you guys subscribed to this newsletter because you're into fantasy novels, I hope you'll enjoy a few of these.
This candy cane fairy might amuse my Fae fanatics. Is she like the tooth fairy, stealing a candy cane from your tree in exchange for coins? Or does she give you some magic treat in an exchange for a future promise (one that will probably not work out in your favor)? The possibilities are endless...and potentially fraught with peril.
My 8-bit video game wreath reminds me of the Christmas where all I wanted was Super Mario Bros. 2 for the original NES. Santa delivered, and my younger sisters and I passed many pleasant hours saving Dreamland as Princess Toadstool (because, let's face it, her jumping capabilities outshone Mario's by a mile).
If you're into cultural fusion, how about this 3D Japanese card that blends "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" with Peanuts characters? I received this card from a friend I made while teaching English in Japan. Stationary is a true art form over there. I've received origami sumo wrestlers, pop-up sakura trees, and so many intricate paper cards over the years.
Want to share some of your holiday treasures? I don't care if it's Christmas-based or not...all winter festivities are welcome! Email me at [email protected].

Want to Help an Indie Author Out?
Indie authors like myself live and die by our reviews. If you've had a chance to read any of the Magic of Nasci books and enjoyed them, please consider leaving a review. Your critique will not only help similar readers decide whether to read my stories, Amazon gives better advertising opportunities to books with more reviews.
I'm also giving away free copies of Chasing Lightning for those of you who have an Amazon account in the US. If you'd like a free copy to leave a book review (or know someone who might), email me at [email protected]. (My apologies to my international fans. Amazon only allows me to gift books to people who live in the same country as me.)
Until next time, happy adventuring!
