In states here with no vaccination mandates, Covid and its variants are not as bothersome! I kind of wish I lived in Texas or Dakota!!

Simple truth. I often wonder Jan as not being or ever having been to America. So loosely based on what I have seen via t.v Americans do seem to do holidays better than anything I have seen or witnessed over here.

It really does seem to focus on the family rather like our Christmas but with no gifts. hugs Jan xx
