Lunch Break Notes

The holiday season is filled with so much joy, so much happiness and memories. Not all those memories involve families sitting around a fire telling stories, drinking hot cocoa. Not everyone enjoys the mild mannered happiness that we see everywhere. We don't all have those families that smile and sing during the holidays. I know i don't...or didn't.

I do have one negative thing to say about the film… New Yorks China Town looks NOTHING like it does in the film. I wish it did. via Daily Prompt...
