Holiday Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 17

This video will say it all, but I was disappointed in today’s story. High hopes were dashed as I made my way into these 11 pages. It was 10 pages too long, in my opinion. Sigh…
I don’t watch a lot of television, and I only have Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+ for streaming services (of which I don’t watch very often), so I tend to miss out on the dearth of holiday hallmark movies that come out this time of year. Luckily, books are always the answer to any dilemma…

The other was writing about writing…Dammit, Carleigh!
Hahah right???
