I hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Year break. I certainly did! I did my favourite thing over the holidays - just sit and watch old films. One of my favourites is the Sound of Music. These movies remind me of my childhood and of course I love the music and songs! One of the songs is 'My Favourite Things'.
