Why do you love Christmas?
Why do you love Christmas?I love how Christmastime brings out the kindness in people. And I delight in the focus on peace, joy, compassion and togetherness. There is a magic and wonderment in the air, which can especially be sensed by children. Christmas has a comforting and exciting ambience for me because when I write for children, I must enter into the zone of magic and wonderment.
