March 5, 2010 - 10:11 am ki.p - Hope, I totally sympathize with you! I remember vividly being 9 years old, and the Dr. telling me I had to have some blood work. Well, I ran clear out of the doctors office! You're much braver that I was, I'm glad you survived. ;)

Dear Santa

It’s really hard to believe that Christmas is just five days away. It can’t really be Christmas already, can it?
It still does not feel like Christmas for us this year. Rarely are there years that pass by that our Christmas tree isn’t up the day after Thanksgiving, or that the outside of our home isn’t...
