Memories and Christmas go hand in hand and The Catholic Post invites you to share yours for our annual “Christmas Greetings” edition. This special section, which will be included in the Dec. 18 issue, will feature stories of Christmases past and preparations for this year’s celebration, as well as the family traditions that make this season so special.

We also welcome recipes for the foods that will grace your family’s table. Be sure to tell us who passed down the recipe to you, what meaning the dish has, and how it adds to your celebration of Christ’s birth.

The deadline for your memories, traditions and recipes is Wednesday, Nov. 30. Send them to Christmas Greetings, The Catholic Post, P.O. Box 1722, Peoria, IL 61656 or submit them by email to jwillems@cdop.org. Please include your name, address, telephone number and parish.

For more information, call Jennifer Willems at (309) 677-7036.
