A Christmas Meme....Repeat.




I posted this questionnaire five years ago on this blog.

Lots of people have come and gone since then,
I thought you might enjoy thinking about your Christmas favorites and memories on this
frosty Friday morning.

Happy weekending!

Encourage one another,

I am sure she invented that saying.
