It’s now December. That means Christmas is just on the horizon (23 days from today — yikes). I’ve got my December cup. Isn’t it beau-ti-ful? I saw it in October and fell in love with it. To me it screams December/Christmas with a bit of Dr. Seuss thrown in for giggles. So, hopefully this cup […]
Here in the United States it’s Thanksgiving Day. This is a day to gives thanks for all the wonders and joys in our lives.
