CHRISTMAS DAY CONTEST FINALIZED

Blog Posted:3/6/2017 5:04:00 AM

I know it has taken me a long time to judge this contest. I truly apologize for that. But as you all know life sometimes get in the way. Furthermore, I would like to thank everyone that participated in my contest. I read some amazing poems. Many reminded me of how I felt as a kid, when I opened up that christmas gift. It was an incredible feeling. I found out as I've gotten older througout the years that the most precious gifts are not in a box up under a tree.
