At The Parsonage: Epiphanytide

Sunday, March 22nd, 2020

It’s always sad to see the tree being dragged to its death.

January 10: I often hear how depressing the time after Christmas is. The Christmas decorations are back in boxes (almost) and the house feels so empty. Personally, I love this season.
