HOLIDAY MEMORY CONTEST! Just 4 more days

Ignore for a moment how many shopping days you have left and concentrate on this REALLY important deadline! You have four more days to participate in our "Winter Reflections" Holiday Memories Contest, which closes at midnight on December 5.

To help jog your festive memories, we invite you to "come to your senses." Think of the sights, sounds, smells, and feelings of the holiday season. Light a bayberry candle. Sniff an evergreen bough. Does a certain song or story invoke a special memory? How about the smell of baking cookies? Is there some ethnic tradition, memorable gift, or reindeer sweater that you remember, fondly or otherwise? Funny, poignant, silly, sentimental, . . . send us your memory in 500 words or less and you could win a prize and publication on Writing North Idaho! Why not set aside a few minutes on this chilly Sunday, take up your pen or keyboard, and take a walk down memory lane? Details here.
