New Orleans, LA Author Publishes Memoir

On the Road Again…Makin' Christmas at Holmeses: A Travel Memoir, a new book by Dan Armstrong, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

On the Road Again… Makin' Christmas at Holmeses is a memoir of Dan Armstrong's travel adventures while designing, developing and buying mainly Christmas décor for D.H. Holmes Co., Ltd., a New Orleans - based department store chain. It is a time piece dating 1979-1986, as well as including an epilogue of his later personal travel adventures. There are loads of laughable moments and fun quips that Armstrong has learned along the way from travelling with eccentric companions.

Included is how Christmas Ornaments are initially conceived as concepts, and how those concepts are communicated to manufacturers. It is such a thrill to see the finished product that was once only a thought in someone's mind.

This book was a project commenced and completed during the pandemic and is a result of Armstrong's quarantine during COVID-19.
