I don’t go into Facebook on a regular basis so I’m missing lots of wonderful Extended Family photos, but maybe next year.  For now, I want to just say hello to all my relatives.   

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!

Recommended:  pair them with Vitamin C rich foods:   tomatoes, peppers, or citrus fruits and juices

And I just found this wonderful way to do just that!
