We had a wonderful visit from the talented elves at Miss Cayces Wonderland, who helped decorate our tree.
The holidays are such a special time filled with magic memories and make believe.
I remember back in 1989 waiting for the Christmas catalog to come in.
I picked out my favorite toys.
I sent my letter to Santa and I just hoped it would get to him in time.
I really wanted something for Christmas.

One thing that always brings a smile to my face is the sound of music.
