Merry Christmas and a Happy New Giveaway

I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.  ~Charles Dickens

Merry Christmas friends! I hope that no matter how you celebrate, your day is full of love, warmth and light. I am eternally grateful for the connections I have made here and look forward to sharing more of my journey with you in the new year. 'll be back in this space after the first of the year with Green's first ever giveaway! How exciting! Until then....
