Hey, it's Brian, back with another Burr Month's bonus episode for those of us getting an early start on the holiday season.

And this time, it is the second to last installment of our YA novel from 1918,

Camp Fire Girls in the Allegheny Mountains, or a

Christmas success against odds. If you're just dropping in on this series, you need to go all

the way back to episode one because we are going through the entire novel from start to finish.

And if you have been here from the very beginning, well, thanks for sticking with us.

Again, this is the second to

last installment, and next time we'll wrap this story up, bringing it to its conclusion, and then head

into October with something equally festive, although I don't quite know what that is yet.

And if you've heard any of the episodes in this series so far, you probably know what I'm

about to say next, my two standard announcements. First of all,

it is never too early to send a Christmas memory to appear in an episode later on during the

Christmas season. This year, more than any other year, with everything going on, I really want to

be able to share your Christmas memories. It means a lot to me, and it means a lot to the rest

of the Christmas past family.

And it's super simple to do.

Just record a voice memo into your phone and send it to Christmas Past podcast at gmail.com.

Just keep it reasonably short, clean and family friendly, and be sure to say your name and where you're from.

And secondly, I would love to send you a handwritten Christmas card containing an official Christmas past sticker.

You know, there is only one way to get a Christmas past sticker, and that is to review the show on Apple Podcasts.

Those reviews really do help a lot, more than you might realize.

They make the show more visible to people searching for words like Christmas or holidays
