SYDNEY — Breton Books is once again donating $1,000 worth of sales from its 11th annual Cape Breton’s Christmas collection.
The book, edited and compiled by Ron Caplan, features stories from Cape Breton’s about Christmases past.
Through the summer, Caplan approached people randomly to ask if they had a Christmas story to share.
Those who did were asked to write it down and submit it for the 11th edition of Cape Breton’s Christmas.
There are 50 stories in this year’s collection including the tale of the girl who was trapped under a Christmas tree and the story of a hitchhike home for the holidays.
As in past years, proceeds from sales of the book are being donated to help make the Christmas season brighter for people in need.
“People see this as a win-win-win project,” said Caplan in a press release.
“It gets people writing, it saves hundreds of stories we rarely share, and it continues to make a substantial donation to Feed Nova Scotia.”
The launch of this year’s Cape Breton Christmas is Dec. 3 at the McConnell Library in Sydney at 6 p.m.
Cape Breton’s Christmas is available in stores around Cape Breton and across Canada and sells for $21.95.
