in the McDonald home is always a magical time of the year. Starting on
Thanksgiving, we put up the tree and pull out the Christmas movies. The house
is decorated in festive holiday fashion. I love playing Christmas music while
cooking and for some reason I bake more during this time of the year. Come
Christmas Eve, my son is allowed to open one present. It was something my
parents did for me as a child and I’ve passed it on with my family. Then, I
start my cooking for the feast of Christmas. On Christmas morning, the house is
filled with Christmas cheer. Presents are opened. Friend and family come to
dinner, and we all share in the joys of the season. This is absolutely my most
favorite time of the year. Not because of the gifts, but because of the
atmosphere. I love the joy this season brings. There a sense of “A New
Hope” in the air at Christmas. ((see what I did there…haha! Nerdy
girl Christmas joke!)) All in all, Christmas is magic and as Harry Potter
once said, “I love magic.”

back on the same course. Together, they find themselves on a journey of
rediscovery, friendship, hope, and love.
apart for good, will Alexis and Ryan lose all hope of a happily ever after? Or
will the childhood promises of forever lead these two hearts through impossible
odds and back into each other’s arms?
