Christmas is Over, Now What?
The end of a season, a holiday, or a time in one’s life can be sad and disappointing. However, if we have something to look forward too, we can focus on that instead. I always look forward to my friend’s birthday because it sets off the season of holidays. It goes birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas,Continue reading “Christmas is Over, Now What?”
