I hope you enjoyed looking back over some of the best posts of the last year with me.More “best of” categories will be coming up later this week!As the big day gets closer and the pressure seems to be on to have the most perfect Christmas, sometimes a classic quote can be just the right medicine to put everything into perspective and really remind us of what’s important.
