I&#8217;m not typically one for nostalgia, but there are moments where it can&#8217;t be helped, and with the holiday season here, it&#8217;s just one of those times. Most people don&#8217;t know this, but I&#8217;m originally from Texas, and while I&#8217;ve mostly lived here in Washington, Texas will always be my home. Growing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was a little girl, I would always count down the days until Halloween. Halloween meant trick-or-treating, dressing up in fun costumes, and family parties where we would bob for apples and listen to the Monster Mash.

I don&#8217;t know about you, but I often feel like I should thank my mom for everything she&#8217;s done for me. She is always been so generous of herself.

		<description><![CDATA[Did you know that the person who was to become St. Patrick,  (the patron saint
of Ireland) was born in Wales about  385 AD. His given name was Maewyn, and he almost didn&#8217;t get the job of bishop of Ireland because he lacked the required scholarship.

		<description><![CDATA[Believe it or not, before I was employed at GiftTree, I was afraid of dogs. And by afraid, I mean, run as fast as you can when you see one, even if it&#8217;s a tiny chihuahua. Go ahead have your laugh. I loved cats, but dogs were, (please note: “WERE”), just not my thing.
