December 7 question - It's holiday time! Are the holidays a time to catch up or fall behind on writer goals?

I don't usually set writing goals for December. I don't want to stress myself during a time when my kids are out of school and eager to do Christmas activities. We take our time putting up decorations, making Christmas crafts, driving around town looking at lights, buying gifts for loved ones, and baking tons of yummy treats. That's not to say I stop writing. I do what I can when I can, and anything that makes it onto a page is a welcome surprise. The past two years, I've published a new novel in the month of November, so the weeks afterward are focused on promoting rather than writing. The new year is when I will buckle down and churn out the third (and final) book in my series. I'm so excited to finish the trilogy next year and wrap up my characters' journeys!
