Can you believe Christmas is right around the corner? To celebrate, Sourcebooks Casablanca asked the authors of its 2019 Christmas titles to answer some fun, wintry and Christmas themed questions! And this time the question is:
What’s your favorite holiday memory?
Anna Schmidt: Wrapping presents with my Dad—he always had us shop for him and then gathered us kids one night to wrap everything on his list for my Mom (usually 10-12 gifts). He wrote these wonderful cards to attach to each gift and there always was one small gift (usually jewelry) he hid in the tree.
Linda Broday: What parent hasn’t worked hard on Christmas Eve putting toys together? I remember one Christmas when my husband and I tried for most of the night to assemble a bicycle for my oldest. We hunted and hunted for one important part and finally found it in the trunk of the car where it had fallen out of the box. Exhausted, we fell into bed and I still remember the warmth of his arms around me. We fell asleep whispering to each other. He passed away a few short years after that. But I can’t look at a bicycle without remembering that night.
Terry Spear: Having both kids and their spouses here for the holidays. That’s the best time ever.
