Were you to go to any store during the week after Christmas, you would see huge lines. Not at the checkouts, but at the service desk as people are busy returning gifts they didn’t want.

We welcome him with praises and singing, we rejoice as we learn that this baby will be our redeemer. We read stories […]

Other horrible gifts from him included winter gloves and snow scraper for her car, a padded mat to […]
