If Christmas Makes You Cry

If Christmas Makes You Cry

Posted on 20. Dec, 2008 by Michele.

I’ve been listening to Christmas music all day. Gotta love DirecTV. I’ve heard everyone from Elvis to Josh Groban sing carols. All good, except for one teensy, weensy little hiccup. So far I’ve heard “Grown Up Christmas List” at least four or five times. Decent song, pretty even. But all that talk about dreams and [...]

Not only does it provide focus for aspiring authors (viable CONTENT first), [...]
