"The 12 Days of Christmas Episodes"
Metalocalypse – “Dethmas”
Original airdate 12/6/09
On the list of shows that you could ever imagine having a Christmas episode, Metalocalypse would have to be near the bottom. And yet, this episode happened.

The Summer Garden
The Summer Garden
By Sherryl Woods
(MIRA Books)
The Summer Garden is the Ninth Book of Sherryl Woods’ Chesapeake Shores Series. This is the first book of hers I’ve read and I enjoyed it despite it being a bit slower and quieter story than I’m used to. It was a sweet tale about [...]
