We need your help!

Christmas is just around the corner!

OK, it's more like six months away, but we're already making plans for the December issue of ec. And we need your help to make it one of our best issues ever.

We're looking for some of your favorite funny Christmas stories. It could be that time your grandma made the pie without sugar. Or when your little brother got a gag gift and didn't take it well. Or maybe you just have a favorite holiday memory of your family, friends, or church. We just want to hear your stories and print a few of them in the December issue. So, e-mail them our way! Include your name, age, and hometown. You should also send a jpg photo of you.

We can't wait to hear your stories! So start thinking snow and start talking!
