Holiday Tales Anthology Lois Bennett Phd

Holiday Tales Anthology - 2014 is a group of short stories, poems, and pictures celebrating the important days of our lives - Holidays. The definition for Holiday is used as times that are of great significance to people's lives as well as those official Government-declared holidays. The stories are written by experienced authors as well as some by people who have never published works previously. But they are all written from the heart with the personal emotion of each author.. Therefore, When the call went out to authors to submit material for this Anthology, the question of whether the story had to relate to Christmas kept coming up. My answer was, ?No.? A holiday is a special day of celebration in a person?s life. We asked writers to decide which holiday tweaked their imagination enough to make them want to write about it. Thus we have the majority of stories about Christmas ? perhaps because we are nearing that season soon ? and some about Thanksgiving. Surprisingly, or not, a strong showing was made for Halloween, which was not included in the official definition of the Holiday Season ? ?that period of time running from Thanksgiving through New Year?s Day . Others wrote about Springtime including an Easter fantasy story, and Arbor Day, as well as Independence Day. The stories did not have to be serious ? or true, although some are. They could be funny or fantasy. And the authors took us up on these relaxed guidelines, resulting in an eclectic group of holiday stories unlike most you find during the Holiday Season ? which could be anytime of the year. Relax and enjoy. The Editors
