Who’s getting excited for Christmas??? I sure am! I’ve got another Christmas tree in the background for ya! And because it’s basically Christmas now, I ate a chocolate right before I filmed this video. And…right after. Merry Christmas Eve, let’s talk tomorrow for my final advent calendar video!
Because it’s February, I’ve chosen three books to read that all center on the topic of love and marriage for my latest radio segment (it’s showbiz folks, you don’t need to be that creative!).
