Today is Imbolc, also known as St Brigid's Day, and it's halfway between Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. Since on Winter Solstice I started posting the stories that were coming in the mail, this seems like a good place to say goodbye for now. I hope you enjoyed the stories as much as I did...reading them made it really...
Dear James, what a delight to receive your wonderful letter and request. I would love to share a memory, and it can be shared. Shan and I wish you a grand Christmas in Oregon with family. This is being written on letterhead paper my mother would do her correspondence on dating to the 1930s.
Dear Jackson, my name is Steve White, I'm Kenny's oldest son. It was very nice to receive your letter and he enjoyed having me read it to him. He has dementia so I'm going to tell you what I think was his best Christmas. I'm going to write as if my dad was telling the story. I
Dear Greta, thank you so much for sharing your Christmas Memories with us. My favorite memory when I was young was that each Christmas Eve we went to church, then to my grandmother's house with my cousins for supper, after which we opened presents to each other.

We have that in common but this year that wasn't possible; that's why your letter meant so much to us; THANKS! ...
Dear Xander, hello! Right back at you. My answer is yes. Will the Share Our Stories campaign be a continuing project? That would be a pleasant participation for me. And I'm fond of your name (Xander), it is uncommon and rolls off the tongue in a fun way. Now down to business.
Dear Laszlo, my husband Giles sent an answer to your question "holiday memories". Here is mine.

I love Christmas, it is my favorite holiday all year. The thing I like the most is our family home evening we do on Christmas Eve. I olive the stories, songs, and all the music you kids do. And I love hearing Grandpa read the Christmas from the Bible. I love putting the sacks with lights in them all around...
