My mom got me a subscription to Readers Digest for Christmas. I love this magazine. It usually comes in the mail with all my furniture catalogs. It has lots of short stories and I love the jokes that you can read in there. I have some of stories I should send in. If they do publish your story, they pay you money which I think is awesome. They have some great investigative reporting too. I know each month I get this I have it read in the first day. The price is great and you can often send a free gift subscription to your family and friends.
