Posted on December 25, 2022January 1, 2023 by debric5

Christmas Past…and Future by Deb Richmond Christmas will never be the same without her. The Toll House cookies are gone. Her rich chocolate cake will never sit on the old buffet table again. The warbling soprano is missing from our sing-a-longs. Even my mother’s spacious basement with the ever-decorated Christmas
