With the holiday season upon us, home means different things to different people. For some, it is family gathering and reconnecting with loved ones.

I'm sure it has happened to us all. Suddenly you see something that was right under your nose the whole time, and you say, “What? Glory be!” Glory be is an exclamation expressing surprise.

I love it when I'm offered more! Don't you? Especially if it's free! Well that's whats going on here, right now, this very second.
