COMPANY/PUBLICATION: CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL 

Deadline: 30 April 2024

The deadline for submissions is APRIL 30, 2024.

It's time to celebrate! Our holiday titles make wonderful gifts and are so popular that we create a new edition each year. Our holiday book for 2023 has been completed so we are now collecting stories and poems for our HOLIDAY edition that is scheduled to be published in 2024.

How do you celebrate the holidays? Are your celebrations very traditional or are they very spontaneous and never the same? We want to hear how you celebrate your holidays. How do you gather with family and friends to share the special spirit of the season? How do you brighten those long winter days?

Please submit your true stories and poems about the entire December holiday season, including Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, and New Year’s festivities too. **If your stories are about celebrating Christmas please be sure that they are “Santa safe” so that we don’t spoil the magic for precocious readers!

Here are some suggested topics, but we know you can think of many more:

• What celebrating the holidays means to me
• Holiday Traditions
• Memories of the Holiday Season
• The Love of Family
• Family Reunions
• Holiday Humor
• Gift Giving
• Gift Receiving
• Regifting - oh no!
• Decorating... and underrating
• Eat, Eat, Eat... and Be Merry
• Christmas Through the Eyes of a Child
• Here Comes Santa Claus
• Things that went wrong!
• Holiday food and traditions
• The spontaneous things your family does
• Funny anecdotes

If we published your story in a previous Holiday book please do not submit it again. We will not publish it. If you submitted a story and we did not publish it and it will fit in this book, please do submit it again.
