A Christmas Treasure Trove Of Great Festive Stories

Time seems to go by so fast these days, I think they speed up the older one gets. Anyway, with that troubling thought in mind, just to say that it is now three years since I embarked upon a labour of love, compiling and editing an eight volume collection of Christmas stories by my fellow writers from that time, December 2020. So if you think present day editors think what a lot there is to get through, you’d be right, we thought so too, and we loved every minute of it.

Actually what truly amazed me was how many different Christmas stories there were. And what a truly talented bunch of writers and editors we had, bearing in mind that many of the writers were also editors.

Well, here they are, all eight volumes with about ten stories per volume, making it 80 different takes on Christmas. That is plenty to save you from the boredom of stuffing yourselves with too much Turkey and wine. Let’s face it, we tend to do everything else to excess, so why not reading Christmas stories. They may even inspire you to write one or two of your own. Good reading and writing, and a very Happy Christmas and New Year to each and every one of you.
