Share your memories for the annual Christmas issue
As every year, the Reporter invites readers to help fill the pages of the special Christmas issue with your memories and photos of Christmases past. Most of us can recall a Christmas event or special gift that has forever been etched in our memories. We invite our readers to share those stories with us.
Also, if you have a Christmas story idea – a collection of Santas, a special tree, a display of nativities, or a tradition in your family, we welcome ideas to also help us fill the pages. (Don’t feel you are a good enough “writer” to submit a story? Provide us with the facts and we will put it all together for you! You can even call and tell your story to us over the phone.) And we love to share those old Christmas photos. Call or text the editor: 217-474-9365 or editor@thesidellreporter.com by Dec. 8!
