Submission Closes: August 15th
When it comes to holiday wishes, the magic of the season can act as a catalyst.
It's a season for romantics, dreamers, believers in something greater than themselves. A time for wishes for yourself or another, and for the gathering of dreams you didn't even know you had. A hearts' desire can lead to holiday wishes beyond measure.
What are your characters wishing for this holiday season?
We're looking for your best and brightest holiday stories about wishes made and granted in unusual ways.

Example: Wishes can be granted in a number of ways and by a multitude of factors. A Christmas angel is sent to someone's aid on a snowy winter road. A Christmas elf makes the shocking discovery he can fulfill one human's biggest desire…but to do so he must agree to become human himself. Winter snowstorms that leave two enemies stranded together, only to find they're not as opposed as they originally feared. Joe, injured while stringing holiday lights on what he considers the loneliest holiday in history, finds more than his broken arm gets attention when he visits the local ER and comes face to face with a gorgeous man of his dreams.
