BookLife For Thanksgiving: Rising to the Occasion, The Best Toasts for Any Celebration (Paul Dickson, author)

Non-fiction, book of toasts and quotes for a variety of occasions, holiday, wedding, wakes, graduations, retirements.

With Thanksgiving looming next week, and preparations of food and tables and linens all in hand (or not), one element that may not have yet been addressed is the toast. Whether you are hosting or being hosted, there is always a call for a good toast. Pick up a copy of Paul Dickson’s Rising to the Occasion, the Best Toasts for Any Celebration and add some dimension and depth to your celebration. You will find humor, quotes and beautifully wordsmithed creations here, as well as tips for delivering a toast.

A well-crafted toast can reference literature, poetry, wisdom, memories, gratitude, past experience, or humor. It can entertain and elevate. It can bond, thank and remember. It need not be long, or lofty. It need not even be original. You can, however, break the mould, say something new and uplifting, this year and at future holidays, weddings, funerals, wakes, reunions, birthdays and retirements with this compendium on hand. In the process you will educate yourself on the history, purpose, themes, best practices and tips for delivery of toasts. On top of all of that, it is a particularly fabulous gift for your host or hostess–and not one that must be immediately put in a vase with water or into an already crowded oven. 

In gratitude for your readership, I invite you to purchase a copy of Rising to the Occasion and delight your gathering, large or small, next week and throughout the holiday season.
