A few weeks ago, I received a letter from an Adams Media editor that one of my stories would be included in a project called 12 Days of Christmas Prayer. And today, I remembered to look for the e-book, and deck the Halls with boughs of holly! There was my story, appearing on the First Day of Christmas!
I love the story, “Advent at the Hall House.” It originally appeared in a Cup of Comfort Book of Christmas Prayer. And that was swell, to have it published and sitting pretty on the shelves in big bookstores during the holidays. But that’s not why I love that story so much.
I loved those days when the kids could barely read, and we gathered around the Advent wreath to share a few prayers, the kind of prayers that started out with a very holy, “Dear Jesus.” But somehow ended with a discussion of dogs, or firetrucks or what Mommy shouldn’t have said to that man in the grocery store. It’s that kind of a story.
My, that was some Christmas praying. Anyway, I’m sure the rest of the stories are just as wonderful as “Advent at the Hall House.” You can find the e-book here for just a few dollars. It seems like a reasonable price for 12 Days of Christmas Prayer.
‘Tis the season, friends. Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
Cathy C. Hall Writes 
What fun, happy, Christmasy news! Congratulations, Cathy!
Wow! Not just included, but ON THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS. Congrats!
Congrats! What I really want to know, though, Cath, is what DID Mommy say to the man in the grocery store?
Cathy, Congratulations on another literary accomplishment. you write so REAL; I love that.
Yay Cathy,What wonderful news! Congratulations on your latest publication, and being first is a great honor.Donna
Yeh for you, Cathy! :)And I'm with Lisa – what did you say to the man in the grocery store? I'm sure it was something very polite and lovely, right? 🙂
Aw, thanks so much, y'all! What a wonderful way to start my day, wrapped in good wishes!Um, there is NO telling what I said to the man at the grocery store. On the other hand, my little darlings were ALWAYS telling on ME. 😉
Great news, congratulations! I too want to know what you said to that man at the store! LOL.
Congratulations!
Great job, Cathy. I really miss your Christmas stories in the Neumann News. I believe I recall a Hall family Christmas essay but you probably toned it down for the less colorful parishoners! I'm with Lisa — what did mommy say to the Publix customer?
This blog is elegant and superb good job! here is a topic about train horn air compressor and more about Nathan Train Horn, Nathan DeVore as producer.
