EVERYONE HAS A CHRISTMAS STORY ARCHIVE 
!!! 2009 CONTEST WINNERS: short stories/ poetry -- a joyful list
by MARY MOFFETT: TEFF



"EVERYONE HAS A CHRISTMAS STORY"  has a history dating back to 2006.
If you read over posts below, you'll find that this is a rather laid back contest, supplying plenty of time for serious authors to enter often.  OR enter longer pieces aka traditional short stories. All WC members are certainly welcome to gladly come here to talk about Winter, Holidays, and whatever is on their minds. The contest does not require that only entrants post below. Uh, huh, the place is rocking, come on down,  ENJOY! THE  SEASON.
