Christmas Rant

ChrisReaders

Christmas is just around the corner which causes me equal amounts of joy and stress. Joy: because I love all the Christmas decorations and the Christmas carols and the copious amount of cookies. (Yes, it’s all about the food.) Stress: because of all the heightened expectations. Christmas commercials make you feel like everyone gets a car with a big red … Read More

Make Me Laugh Wednesday: Thanksgiving Eve

Chrishumor

It’s Thanksgiving Eve. The day where Americans make frantic last minute trips to the grocery store for that one item they somehow managed to forget which is essential to Thanksgiving dinner.

  Fanning The Flames is finished. Woo Hoo! Last night I sent Fanning the Flames to my editor and then I celebrated with ribs and a loaded baked potato from a local restaurant.
