SAN ANTONIO – How is it already December? 2020 is the year that simultaneously feels a decade long and also like the weeks have blended together to form one long month. It was just March yesterday, right?
It’s not been quite the stellar kick-off to a new decade most people had in mind but there are still reasons to smile now that we’ve finally made it to December.
