DECEMBER 2020 SEASON’S READINGS Bardsy Holiday Anthology, 2020
DECEMBER 2020 SEASON’S READINGS Bardsy Holiday Anthology, 2020 In the spirit of the holidays, we’ve gathered sto- ries new and old from the Bardsy library as a gift to our members. Unwrap the tales within and “yule” delight in a heartwarming fuzzy flamingo ornament, a mysterious wreath, a talking writ- er-reindeer, and so much more. We were struck, when compiling this collection, by the many unique voices it represented. We hope next year’s anthology will be even more diverse. No matter what and how you celebrate, 2020 has been a challenging year for all. Now, more than ever, we appreciate the stories that bring us together and make the world a little bit smaller. A love of family and the desire for health, hap- piness and compassion are constants shared across borders, cultures and faiths. We know these stories will give you a few moments’ re- spite. We also hope you’ll share them with friends and family, and perhaps be inspired to write a few of your own! A joyous, safe and happy holiday season to all, or as the Bard himself would say, “Heaven give you many, many merry days.” —CELESTE, ADAM & THE ENTIRE BARDSY TEAM BARDSY.COM DEDICATED TO COPYRIGHT, 2020 BARDSY INC.
