About Us

When I was a lad, before television dominated contemporary culture, before the internet rendered it stupid, when narratives were conveyed primarily by books, Christmastime was genuinely magic. There was always a thrill in the air at Yuletide, good cheer and a  sense that anything was possible, that everyone might obtain their heart’s deepest desire or a thin measure of redemption. 

We leaned on tradition, from struggling to untangle nests of colored bulbs to braving crowds of merry shoppers on main street or at the mall; sipping cocoa from Dad's thermos as we cruised the neighborhood, viewing holiday displays and gathering before warm hearths, listening to Christmas albums and reading cherished tales aloud.

Gingerland  is a gentle fantasy that hearkens to an era when people were not judged by how much they possessed, but how much they gave away. I hope to build a community of like-minded souls who treasure the holidays as an opportunity to celebrate the universal values that unite humans of every race, color and creed: kindness, courage, charity and a warm, generous spirit.
