For another chance, let’s talk about your favorite holiday traditions, and what kind of holiday would you like to see in a paranormal book setting?
I will have a post for the yearly Christmas card list coming up later today. You can sign up to get a Christmas card from Amber!!
We have two traditions in my family: getting a St. Nick’s day gift (that started when I was a child and I do it with my own) and I started giving Advent Calendars in our household. I would honestly love to see a good old fashioned advent calendar featured in a book. They always bring such excitement and joy to my kids.
I’m pagan, so I like it when books have characters celebrating one of the sabbats (Samhain, Yule, Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lughnasadh, Mabon) .
I’m a sucker for a good Christmas story.
trimming the tree
I don’t really have any traditions except going to my sisters early to help her get things ready. I think a Thanksgiving book would be great for shifters.
Going and cutting a Christmas tree down and decorating it together
July 4th
We do Santa gifts which are small and often funny. I just really enjoy family time.
I love decorating the tree as a family. Now that my boys no longer live at home, I really miss doing this.
Making cookies! Decorating cookies… making a big mess is wonderful lol
A farm owned by shifters are getting some kids from a war torn place and need love and support.
A shifter group enjoying Halloween would be fun.
Halloween party full of shifters with humans that have no clue.
Family reunion lol
Oddball rabbit shifter that is required to play Easter bunny.
I like seeing the old holidays, like Yule, celebrated in paranormal stories.
Some type of Independence Celebration with Dragons being the fireworks.
Getting together with the family.
I think I’ll like to see any type of traditional holiday scene as I haven’t really grown up or developed any of my own. It’s nice to see the different ways people celebrate.
The only tradition that has continued with my off spring is the one about toasting the family at 11am on Christmas day where ever they may be. It’s been something that, as an army and navy family, has continued through many generations even though none of the youngest generation is in any service now.
I think holiday foods is the best thing about traditions, making pies and things as a family that we dont usually make during the rest of the year. I like reading and the bon fires that wolf packs have on the full moon or other celebrations they have on the pack run days.
My favorite holiday is Halloween. I would love to see more stories about Halloween.
I think the perfect setting for a paranormal story is Halloween…. Because it is already spooky!
I love Christmas, we have traditions that go back to our great great grandparents. It’s a time when we try to enjoy as a family and be together. So, maybe a book with Santa and elves helping out a shifter or other paranormal.
Yule or St. Patrick’s Day would be interesting though I am partial to Halloween hijinks.
Halloween or more Pagan type holidays
We see a lot of the traditional American holidays. I think I would like to see something different from various cultures. We all celebrate different things at different times depending on our religion and place we live and I would love to travel the world through imagery in books.
I agree with dragontieggs. It would be nice to “see” another place and culture through their festive celebrations and good characters in a paranormal setting.
