I thought I’d use today’s post to talk a little bit about some Christmas symbolism and how as a writer, I decided to use it. Growing up, like most kids I was really into the holidays. I was also exposed to a lot of different facets to them. Originally, I hail from an area of … More The Holly and the Ivy, when they are both full grown…

I think as kids we aren’t always attuned to the more simplistic holidays – if it doesn’t have chocolate or presents as a staple, forget it! As I’ve grown up, though, I’ve come to treasure a quiet day with family. I’m amazed … More Being Thankful
