As we enter 2021, young and old, have been facing the circumstances of isolation over the holiday season and before that for months. We are all certainly looking forward to resuming gatherings before too long. And as we look forward, it is a hop, skip and a jump to memories of celebrations over the years—some of ritual, some of changes, some full of surprises, some funny, and some forever heart-breaking.

I want to thank the contributors to this third Writing It Real anthology for their attention to the kind of detail important in storytelling and for creating intimacy with their readers. As writers with the ability to share our experiences in story, we open others to more deeply experience their own. In that way, we are all in this together.

Feel free to share the book with anyone you’d like and on your websites, too, if it pleases you. Each of the three digital books in our quarterly anthology are always available.
