Why stay home for Christmas? Emily’s family sure didn’t.

Perhaps the best kept secret about the Mausts is the musical prowess of my late grandma Ella. She had the unique ability to hum and whistle at the same time. Yeh, you might think, “Well, I can do that, too,” but let me assure you that my grandma brought the heat long before Rahzel came [...]
