‘Tis The Season: Authors Talk Holidays is a special annual feature on Pop! Goes The Reader in which some of my favourite authors help me celebrate the spirit of the season and spread a little holiday cheer. So, pour yourself a cup of hot chocolate and snuggle in by the fireside as they answer the question: “What does the holiday season mean to you?”
Well, friends, December is almost upon us and longtime readers of Pop! Goes The Reader will know what that means – ‘Tis The Season: Authors Talk Holidays is back!
2016 has been a dark and difficult year for many and, in the interest of full disclosure, I must admit that I initially questioned whether it would be appropriate to host ‘Tis The Season in the wake of all that has happened. It can be especially difficult to seek out, embrace and feel deserving of joy when so much of the world is in turmoil, but I can only hope that this series will offer readers a glimmer, however small, of hope, happiness, light and love in a time when we need it most of all. With thirty-two participants and prospective posts about Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year’s celebrations, ‘Tis The Season promises to be bigger and better than ever before. I sincerely hope you’ll stop by Pop! Goes The Reader this December as these wonderful authors welcome us into their homes and hearts for a little festive cheer to answer the question “What does the holiday season mean to you?” Don’t forget to follow me on Twitter and search the hashtag #TisTheSeason2016 for all the latest updates on the event and to make sure you don’t miss your daily dose of merriment and magic!
