Final 12 Books of Christmas giveaway: A Simple Amish Christmas by Vannetta Chapman

Doesn't it seem like just yesterday we were kicking off The 12 Books of Christmas? I can't believe this is the final giveaway! But we're definitely ending with a bang! For all of you Amish fiction fans who didn't win Sarah's Christmas Miracle two weeks ago, don't despair! Here is is yet another chance to win a great Amish Christmas novel. Check it out:


It's Christmas, and Annie Weaver misses her family after leaving her Amish community to work at a distant hospital. But when she hears that her father has been gravely injured in a buggy accident, she rushes home to care for him. Her passion for healing catches widower Samuel Yoder's attention. Will she also capture his heart?



Vannetta Chapman has published more than 100 articles in Christian family magazines. She discovered her love for the Amish while researching her grandfather’s birthplace in Albion, Pennsylvania. Vannetta is a multi-award-winning member of Romance Writers of America. She currently teaches in the Texas hill country. A Simple Amish Christmas, a CBD fiction bestseller, is her debut novel. Visit Vannetta online at: www.vannettachapman.com

Let's see how Vannetta answers the fun holiday questionnaire:




Favorite Christmas carol: O Come All Ye Faithful

A family Christmas tradition: Opening one gift on Christmas eve

A memorable gift you've given or received: I received suede shoes when I was 12. I wanted those shoes SO BADLY. It just seemed terribly important that I have them. They weren't under the tree, but my dad pointed to a small package ON the tree. It was a tiny box with a note in it that said, "look in the dishwasher." There was a box, wrapped, with my shoes in them! 

Favorite Christmas television show or movie? It's a Beautiful Life. 

When do you start your holiday shopping? Oh my. I will find little things and put them back beginning in August, but I don't start the serious shopping until mid-December. I'm not a procrastinator, just BUSY!

Ever been kissed under the mistletoe? Surely I have, right?

Do you deck the halls in style or keep it simple? Simpler every year. I adore Christmas, and I want a little bit in every room, but we have a small tree, that we put on a pedastle box with a beautiful tree skirt. I like to put out red candles and some greenery in each room.

What food do you overindulge in during the holidays? CHOCOLATE!

Thanks, all. I'm glad you like Amish Fiction. BTW, I think I was a bit tired when I filled out that questionnaire. Isn't the movie I like called, "It's a WONDERFUL Life?" Good grief, I need to get some sleep. : )
