Rheana Murray, Senior Essays Editor at TODAY, is looking for pitches: 

I'd love to get some holiday-related essays in my inbox. What's your hack for dealing with all the presents your kids get? Do you have a holiday tradition you love, but your family hates? What's the best/worst gift you've ever given/received? Tell me your stories!

I am looking for pitches or completed essays of around 1000 words. You can email me at TODAYEssays@nbcuni.com. Thank you!
