My husband and I were walking on our property one day. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, and the temperature was comfortable.

I know this is not the Christmas season. Sometimes I enjoy playing Christmas music during other times of the year. Most of us have a favorite Christmas carol. It could be a song from childhood that we sang in school, at church, or one we heard on the radio. I have several favorites. "O Little … Continue reading My Drum
