A Wondering Holy Youth Christmas

What I wanted was a clever title for this section. Perhaps “have a WHY-te Christmas” or “We Wish you a Why-re Christmas” however I realized how silly this sounded, and went with the title you see now.
Perhaps just as you are finishing your Christmas shopping, you’re haunted by a feeling that you still have one more gift to get, but you just can’t think of what it is. Do not fear, we know who you have forgotten. You’ve forgotten us– WHY needs some Christmas presents too.
“What on earth could a newsletter need for Christmas?” you ask yourself, or perhaps “Is a piece of paper really asking me for a Christmas present?” Well, let me answer these questions for you, in a handy shopping list of sorts.
1. Articles– Write! Write! Write! We know you all have Christmas break coming up soon (Yes, we are psychic) and therefore we know you will have all sorts of spare time to write us an uber-fantastic article. So pick up that pencil (or pen or typewriter or keyboard), and write away! (then don’t forget to send your works to us)
2. Pictures– perhaps you will get a camera from Christmas. And then by chance you take about a billion pictures with it. And just maybe some of them will be good. And then, you send them to WHY so that we can include fantastic pictures amongst our pages. Alternatively, take some pictures with your old camera, or your parents camera, or that camera you found on the sidewalk, and send us those fantastic inspirational pictures!
3. Your email address– no, we are not going to stalk you or send you all sorts of junk, we just want to send you future issues, so that you don’t miss out!
4. Feedback– did you like the articles in this issue? Was there something that resonated especially for you? Do you just find WHY to be special in general? Do you have idea’s for what you would like to see in future issues? Tell us all about it. We love our feedback, (all of it). We’d love to know all of these things. We’d love to know anything about you actually, where you first heard of WHY, or maybe about something amazing that has happened in your life that you just have to share. Well then, EMAIL us!
