A Day of Christmas Joy

“Best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear!” ~Buddy the Elf

Watch With Me: Thanksgiving Edition

My absolute favorite is A Charlie Brown’s Thanksgiving! I never ever miss it on TV, but thanks to Apple TV (more sarcasm) it is no longer on our local programming, but instead on streaming. Which just means, I was able to watch it even earlier this year than normal!
