I recently learned something that I thought I’d share in the light of the Christmas season. Each year, 3.5 million American families bring real Christmas trees into their home. This custom was first introduced in the United States in 1842, by Charles Minnegerode at Williamsburg, Virginia. His tree was described as “splendidly decorated” with strings of popcorn, gilded nuts and lighted candles.

The fourteen president of the United States, Franklin Pierce, was the first president to set up a Christmas tree in the White House.

Judy DeLuca’s latest novel

Towel Dry and a Good Cry is about a young girl, new to the hairdressing business, that learns all too quick that there is more to standing behind the chair than just cutting hair.  A story full of laughs and tears lies and fears with characters you’ll love, hate or will leave your jaw hanging open!
