Wishlist, facts, Seek and Find…
Christmas is a wonderful time of the year for many people. It can be a time of joy and a time spent with family members and loved ones.

It’s that time of the year (nearly)…
As a book reviewer, Christmas is a confusing time of the year, mostly because I start reading Christmas books normally in September.
