HOLIDAY TRADITION
During the holiday season we exchanged wish lists ahead of time, so no one received a Chia head or underwear they didn’t want. For grins and giggles, we’d add impossible things to our lists.
During our leanest years my husband would ask for a shoebox full of twenties. That is, until the Christmas the kids and I filled a shoebox with twenty safety pins, twenty pennies, twenty paper clips, and so on.
The year I finished my first novel, I added to my list, “A literary agent with a contract and huge check.”
And my wish was granted. Sort of.
