Christmas Corner

Christmas is for children. But it is for grown-ups too. Even if it is a headache, a chore, and nightmare, it is a period of necessary defrosting of chill and hide-bound hearts.

Remember: this December, that love weighs more than gold!

Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone.
