In addition to writing for AC, reading selections from the vast amount of content available here, has been (and will continue to be) another great experience for me. If I’m alone in the house, I can get stuck on AC for hours on end just reading. Since I am a speed reader, I have read a great deal of interesting, entertaining, informative, and even hilarious content regarding Christmas crafts on Associated Content. Here are ten of my absolute favorites, in no particular order.
