Christmas…opening my present
This Christmas, we will celebrate as we always do; with food and friendship and family. We will open our doors and our hearts and invite the spirit of the season to join us as we share our offerings and our table. We’ll be grateful and reflect on our blessings; we are together, we are here, […]
