True meaning of Christmas
I'm an M.O.T., so for me, Christmas, meh. It's just kind of another day. I'm neither especially cranky about having to work nights through the holiday, nor is my heart filled with the dazzling light of yuletide joy. But last...Posted on December 25, 2006 9:07 AM • 0 Comments • 0 TrackBacks
