Growing Up in Two Worlds

By Every Family's Got One Guest Writer, Jaya Rao-Herel Image by Rawpixel Growing Up in Two Worlds I’ve grown up in two worlds.

I’ve grown up... taking off my shoes at temples, but [...]

Santa… The Magic Man

Santa... The Magic Man by Every Family's Got One Guest Writer, Jackie Friedman image from rawpixel Cooper my precocious grandson was quite the charmer. An imp who ran around like Dennis the Menace with a mop top of blond hair, he never ceased to amaze or exhaust me. When Christmas came but once a year, I had my weapon… Santa, the magic man in a red suit could help tame this whirling bundle of energy. As the holiday neared... I would let Coops, as he was affectionately called, know the stakes involved. There was a chance for [...]
