A Cup of Christmas Cheer

 I love reading novellas and short stories during the holiday season. Maybe it's because I can curl up with a good book in front of the fire (aka, floor heater). One I have to rave about is...

Here We Come A-Wassailing

by Anita Mae Draper

Sometimes we get sooooo focused on our worries and obligations, get soooo busy with meeting deadline and fulfilling obligation and reaching goals, that we don't knows people around us. And I'm not just talking about strangers. We miss noticing the hurt our friends are trying to keep hidden. We miss noticing family members with needs yet with too much pride to ask for help.

Anita's delighful story is a good reminder to  LOVE OTHERS.

God brings people into our lives so we have opportunity to show kindness, share job, give hope, encourage to dream, and embolden to fight for dreams, hope, joy, and kindness.

To see a visual poster of Anita's story, and learn more about it, check out her Pinterest page for Here We Come A-Wassailing. Her Pinterest site also contains 12 Christmas-themed boards.

This year's CoCC authors have also banded together to create a website with a blog, and pages with information about the stories, authors, giveaways, and their Pinterest boards.
