I've been writing a Christmas book. I am aware that it is summer time, but I'm wanting to try to publish in November so I can possibly have some book sales this holiday season. It has my childhood holiday memories stirred up. It's tricky to put words to a feeling and to put them into a book in a way that conveys that.
I've been watching Christmas commercials from the 80's and 90"s on youtube, listening to Christmas music, and watching Christmas movies. I actually remember many of the commercials.
Christmas was the best time of year for me when I was growing up because my family was very dysfunctional, but each year they would do a lot to pull together the best Christmas they could. It was full of fantasy, fun activities, music, decorations, stories, ect. Everything felt magical, and for a long time I believed in the magic.
Does anyone have special things they remember about Christmas? Don't worry, I'm not mining for story content. That's already plotted and outlined and I've got plenty to go on from my own memories and my research on customs around the world.
