If I’m Being Honest about this Christmas…
Welcome to the end of 2020. How are you feeling about it? If I’m being honest, I’m over the moon to see 2020 end. But this year’s Christmas overwhelms me much less. Normally, my head is spinning for the holidays. Worried about getting out cards. Attending loathsome parties (great people, I just don’t like big […]
