Wow. Santa is one generous guy. Jaia made out with a ton of loot. A literal ton. But she’s been having having fun with all of it. At first glance she saw the green hippo she had specifically asked the big guy for. I think she was excited. It was also the year of dress...

My love for the holidays began, like most of us, when I was a little kid. We lived down the street from my Nanny and Pappy and from what I remember, spent a great deal of time at their house. And what a house it was at Christmastime! My grandparents took pride in decorating for...
