Holiday confessions: Tell us what you’ve done.

Sometimes it starts as an innocent mistake. Sometimes it’s so diabolical that your nearest and dearest would cringe if they ever found out.

Maybe you claimed that bakery-bought lemon meringue was homemade.

Perhaps you never told anyone when the turkey slipped off the cutting board, hit the floor … and the dog licked it.

Or apologized for a gift that must have gotten “lost” in the mail (um, the one you never sent).

Or volunteered to work Christmas day just to avoid your relatives — then blamed it on the company, those heartless jerks.

We want to hear your funny, silly, cringe-worthy holiday confessions for an upcoming feature. No names — your best noms de plume only, please.

Contact staff writer Kathryn Skelton at 689-2844 or kskelton@sunjournal.com or drop a line to Kathryn Skelton, Sun Journal, Holiday Confessions, P.O. Box 4400, Lewiston, Maine 04243 by Dec. 1.

It’s OK, you can tell us. We won’t tell a soul. Er…


Give up your food angel

While some of Santa’s elves spend their days before Christmas pounding away at the toy bench (or shopping), there are other holiday helpers who toil in front of a hot stove whipping up exceptional edible presents for family and friends. And you know who they are.

The Sun Journal is looking for outstanding home cooks in our area who are famous among their families and friends for giving great goodies as presents at Christmastime. From bodacious breads, fabulous fudge and piquant pies, to clever cookies … well, you get the idea. Really delicious. Really good. Really deserving of some attention.

Please call and leave contact information at 689-2947, or drop a note off to the Sun Journal in care of Tammy Chamberland at 104 Park St., Lewiston, 04240, or e-mail tschamberland@sunjournal.com.
