Hello!
Christmas holidays are almost here. It’s time for decorating, going shopping for that special gift and making someone happy. I love Christmas! I love the decorations, cooking and doing a little shopping. Christmas is a time to celebrate Christ’s birthday not knowing the exact date when He was born. Christ is the reason for the season! ***** Our condolences to the family of Valeria Annette Miller.
