Let me tell you a secret... I celebrate Christmas AND Thanksgiving all year long! No, I don’t have my Christmas tree up in June, nor do I have fall decorations out in February, but I celebrate nonetheless.  I celebrate each morning by thanking God for my family and friends, my health, and the many blessings… Continue reading My Thanksgiving and Christmas Secret
