Share
What is it about the holiday time? No matter where you are in the world, thoughts of cozying up to a fire, building a snowman, or ice-skating abound. Is it the layers of gloves, scarves, wooly hats and coats that let us feel protected? Or, maybe it’s the opportunity to get closer to someone. To warm up, of course. The sun sets much earlier and the condensation that forms as we speak turns into miniature clouds. Before you know it, it’s time to head indoors and dip into some holiday themed romantic comedies. Here’s what we’re reading…
