Blogmas 2018 – Day 18 #christmas #blogmas #blogmas2018 #christmas2018
A big part of Christmas for many (and certainly for me) is the music. I get nerdy-excited when Christmas music starts playing on the radio in mid-November and am like a kid on Christmas morning. For someone who doesn’t usually have the radio on, November and December is the time I do. This year, I’m…

As a gift to you, I’m sharing with you a part of a Christmas chapter from my story, Hannah’s Rainbow, which is based on my late grandma’s life.
