Halloween marks the beginning of the Holiday season. And with it might come thoughts of get-togethers with family and friends. Those gatherings always feature some wonderful Holiday treats. There are the traditional main dishes as well as the not-to-be-missed, one-time-a-year cookies and desserts.

 

You might remember meals with your grandmother or some favorite relatives and the special things that they made during the holiday season. It was the occasion, the people and the event that cause the meal to linger in your mind years later.

 

Here is a contest where you can recall the recipes and the stories too.

 

Write about your holiday favorite and enter it in our latest story contest by submitting your story through the FREE TRIAL OFFER at TellOurLifeStories.com. Just click to add your story to the Collection. Or if you are a subscriber, login and enjoy the fun!
 
Stories will be read by Dawn and Margaret from TellOurLifeStories.com and by Susan, who taught at San Francisco State in the Professional and Technical Writing, Composition, and Creative Writing programs and who wrote her first book, Ann’s Birthday Cake, when she was a preschooler. The book included an illustration of the cake and the full text of the song.
