Just in time for the Christmas season, when we all have a bit of time to relax and especially this year, maybe a bit more down time than usual, our 'What We're Reading' is ready! You know us, we can't resist a good read and there is nothing we like more than to find a book or two (or ten!) under the tree! So, if you're looking for a good read for yourself, or maybe a book for someone else, keep reading and you will not be disappointed.

Through that friendship, the little tree learns the meaning of love, sacrifice - and Christmas.' This book is a must get for that special someone in your life.

It is an absolutely heartwarming story of a young Christmas tree (and yes we know, that sounds very cliche-ish but it is TRUE!), and such a statement on standing strong through the tough times not knowing if things will get better (kind of like now).
