Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas Everybody! For those of you who normally get down this season, here is a little something to cheer you up. Now is the perfect time to cozy up on a couch with your favorite blanket, light the fire, and sip on a cup of Hot cocoa or tea or whatever you like. Always look for a positive in challenging times and you spirits are bound to be uplifted. For those of you who absolutely love this time of year, get out and share the gift of your presence with your neighbor, family and friends! As I mentioned before the page will continue to evolve as I do. So get prepared for anything!
