Her works have been read in many literary magazines and anthologies, most notably, Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul . For her photo-anthology Couching , she won the 1997 Honorable Mention Literary Masters Award from Center Press. Meriwether Press Ltd. She lives in Burbank, California. Before the Hallowe'en candy displays have barely been picked through and long in advance of the squeaky-clean pilgrims propped up on the cranberry sauce pyramids, Christmas decorations are crowding everything else off the shelves. The malls are jammed in the mad rush to shop.
Possible sociopaths are ringing bells and guilting donations from passersby.
Houses and even entire neighbourhoods are swamped in so many lights it looks like Reddy Kilowatt threw up. The loving spirit does not outlast the mashed potatoes these days. Ask Donna Getzinger, and she will tell you that keeping that spirit alive is something we can all do. Even though this book is entitled Saving Christmas Spirit , it really speaks for all the holidays, of every faith, country, and inclination. It speaks of character.
