Thought I’d join those hibernating bloggers for the Christmas break. If you see a post, it’s already been scheduled. If you wonder what I’ll be doing while hibernating, well it won’t be sleeping.

Getting to Know Your Friends’ Christmas!

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?   Wrapping paper. I pick a different paper for each of my kids and on Christmas morning they go “search” for their gifts like the Wise Men search for Jesus. It’s become a favorite Christmas morning tradition! 2. Real tree or Artificial?     I grew up with real and love…
