What does Christmas mean to you?  Were your childhood memories good or not so good during the Christmas holidays?  Today do you struggle to have good Christmas memories? My wish for you is to be brave enough to make new happier memories.    The title of this blog is Christmas (Magic) as I believe Christmas is magic.  Everyone seems to be happier, there are more smiles on faces, the feeling I have around...
