knock, knock (Ahhhh!!! Someone’s here?!?! I hope it’s just the UPS man – I’m still in my pajamas and the house is a wreck.) Oh hi! It’s you. And you want to see my house? Ooooookay, but you have to promise to squint and tell me it looks beautiful even if you don’t really …

“O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, how lovely are thy branches…” One of my favorite sights during this season is a lit Christmas tree – especially when it’s shining in the night from a cozy home. The other night, my family was driving home and I was peering at all the houses to see all …
The Second Noel
