Happy Thanksgiving!
No doubt youre familiar with time-worn expressions like: You can never go
home again; Home is where the heart is; a mans home is his castle;
and one so familiar this time of year home for the holidays. So just what
does home mean to you? Is it a physical building or domicile? A cherished
memory, person, event or time?
Welcome to my 2015 Christmas essay contest. Well, its not really a contest
as nobody wins *smile*. Having said that, however, everyone on my
Corn-you-copia group list WILL win because my fave 15 written contributions
that are sent to me at <mailto:hap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
between now and Dec. 15 will be shared with all of you beginning Dec. 16
(one each day) through New Years day, the day I will share mine.
When I said you wont win anything, thats not necessarily correct. I have
added a musical inducement of sorts. Below is a list of over 100 titles of
songs having to do with home, from my 230,000 MP3 music collection I have
been accumulating over the past ten years. When you submit your
1-page-or-less essay about home, you can choose one song from those
remaining on this list at time of submission. If your essay is one of the
final 15, Ill attach your music choice to your essay. If your fave home
song doesnt appear on this list, send me the title&artist of your fave
commercially-released home song with your essay. Better yet send me the
actual MP3 and Ill attached it if youre one of the final 15. If you dont
have a preference, Ill pick one that I like and attach one for you.
Be advised Im not as concerned about writing style but rather content. Now
dont dilly dally, you only have until Dec. 15 to get your master piece in!
These titles were copied as they appeared in my database so cant promise
the spelling or formatting is correct.
