The winter holidays--Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year’s--are a time of memory, when recollections come rushing back, often gaining new meaning with the years. In this book, 38 writers from North and South Carolina reflect with essays and memoirs on these holidays--and all the delights and ironies they contain. Whether set in Siberia, Sierra Leone, or the cities and towns of the Carolinas, these writings transcend their settings. There are real-life stories of one Christmas spent battling a fire in Florida, another spent dreaming of home from Guantanamo Bay, and there are gentle musings on the need to enjoy the holidays at a slower pace. Some of the writers are veterans at their craft, such as novelist Joseph Bathanti, humorist Doug Robarchek, newspaper columnist John Vaughan, and poet Mary Kratt. Other contributors are published here for the first time. Together, they provide a rich and readable collection that make 'Tis the Season a wonderful keepsake book to own and to share. about the editor about the book This book is distributed by John F.
