Our favorite super-stores are already aglow with holiday cheer and even the dazzling stores on Fifth Avenue are gearing up for the holiday season by decking their halls with boughs of holly.

Even though we're all going to watch our holiday budgets this year, these diamante-studded light displays are working to get us all into the holiday spirit early this year.

So, before you make your lists and check them twice, make sure you treat yourself to a special (no-cost!) gift to yourself: listen in to Avon's Romance Radio channel, where we are making things merry and bright with one of the jolliest, most joyous authors we know--New York Times bestseller CATHY MAXWELL!!

Join Michelle Buonfiglio, host of LifetimeTV.com's "Romance B(u)y the Book" as she chats with Cathy about the author's latest novel, A SEDUCTION AT CHRISTMAS, on Thursday, November 20 at 2 pm EST.

You can call in and chat with Cathy at (347)826-9686 (all questions welcome!); or listen live on the web (CLICK HERE).

We invite you to join our little festivus. If you do, you'll definitely be thankful that Avon is kicking our holiday celebration into high gear early this year!
