"There are no days more full than those we go back to. All those
Christmases collide into each other and my memory is decorated by a
series of mirrors, flashing light into chambers of sound and
color...the briquettes sparking red-layered on the fire, the
crinkling of the ridiculous paper hats at dinnertime...and the
laughter moving to deep silence at three in the afternoon when we
leaned up against one another like old tires, full of turkey and
gravy and trifle and God knows how many slices of plum pudding."
From 'Every Christmas Morning now, Every Christmas Morning' then by
Colum McCann. Packed with contributions from some of Ireland's
best-loved writers, including Roddy Doyle, Alice Taylor, Colum
McCann, Sinead Moriarty and John Boyne, among others, each of the
author royalties from this collection will be donated to Aware, a
charity that supports individuals and families affected by
depression. Festive stories vary from vivid recollections of a
childhood Christmas spent in Ireland to travels as far as
modern-day New York. Each unique story captures the range of
emotions that come bundled up with Christmas memories. Without a
doubt, The Little Book of Christmas Memories is the perfect
fireside companion for this season as well as an ideal Christmas
present! Contributors: Sebastian Barry, Dermot Bolger, John Boyne,
