Quote by Larada Horner-Miller

“My love for Christmas Eve goes way back to those big gatherings at my grandparents’ house, the focus on Santa Claus and childhood joy. As the years unfolded, I've moved to and visited different cities during the holidays, so my celebration of Christmas Eve took on multiple denominational tones and the focus became the Christ child.”

In her own mind now, what did it mean to her, this thing she called life? It was an offering…it was her gift.”
