Chapter 11 A Lonely Christmas!

There was something so magical about this season, it brought out the best in me!
• We came home to a brightly decorated house which took me almost a month of planning and execution. The string lights and the star of Bethlehem sparkled amongst tiny balls of cotton resembling snow at the bottom of the tree.
