Holiday Meals Round-Up

Even though the holiday season is very different this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I’ll still be taking the next couple of weeks off to be with my family during the holiday break. I am hoping to read a few books, eat lots of tasty food, do some puzzles, relax, watch movies, and enjoy the holiday season with those I love. I want to wish everyone a happy holiday season from my family to yours and I hope you and your family stay healthy & safe.
