BAILEY’S PACE – FALL IN LOVE THIS VALENTINE’S DAY. BY BAILEY PACE

ON THE COVER: WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR? BY BAILEY PACE
Between Halloween and Christmas, there is a short but steep drop in festive spirit. Perhaps, it is because the holiday’s mascots are confusing. Pilgrims do not inspire excitement in the hearts of children. And when you see happy pictures of turkeys all month, a day dedicated to eating the bird can feel morbid. You may […]
