I love Christmas even more than Halloween. The tinsel, the presents, the lights, the joy, the mix of the material and the spiritual. The Caroling of Bells still brings me to tears. And so much red! My favorite color! Which brings me to this: I fully support ignoring Thanksgiving. And yes, this is the first [...]
