Continue reading →: fa la la la la-ing & deck the halls-ing ~ part oneI just love everything about the Christmas season: the music, the movies, the decorating, the goodies, the parties, but most of all the general spirit of good will and of course the reason behind it all, the birth of the Saviour–Emmanuel, God with us.
