The week before Thanksgiving – to me, anyway – has always been the unofficial beginning to the Christmas season. Even if you’re not ready to trim the tree or climb up onto your roof to start affixing your 25,000 imported Italian twinkle light ala Clark Griswold just yet, it’s time to get them on standby […]
Hello from North Carolina, everyone!
