A December to Remember is just as cozy as its cover. (So, nothing like those Lexus commercials. Who buys a car at Christmas, let alone a Lexus?!). Three estranged sisters reconvene in the idyllic English countryside of Rowan Thorp to carry out the terms of their late father's will. A wanderlust-struck eccentric, Augustus North sends salt-of-the-earth Maggie, sophisticated Simone, and free-spirited Star scrambling on a scavenger hunt to claim the money that he cached for them to resurrect Rowan Thorp's famed winter solstice celebration. In working together, they squabble but ultimately reconnect, which is perhaps (insert heart emojis) the biggest prize of all. A December to Remember is on brand for Bayliss and is just the kind of quirky, hipster fairy tale that warms my heart at this time of year.
Similarly, The Santa Suit sparkles with poignant nostalgia. City girl Ivy Perkins moves to a North Carolina farmhouse to heal from her divorce. Yet Four Roses Farm turns out to need more love than Ivy anticipated. Luckily, her realtor Ezra Wheeler is only too happy to help her with her busted hot water heater and drafty windows. What's more, Ivy finds a beautiful Santa suit in a closet with a note tucked inside. All Carlette wants for Christmas is for her father to return from Vietnam. Touched, Ivy sets out to uncover what happened to Carlette and her family. Along the way, she makes two life-changing friends and finds the home she always wanted. Andrews weaves small-town charm, seasonal suspense, and old-fashioned romance with all the Christmas magic of a ribbon glittering through evergreen. Short but sweet, The Santa Suit is a joy to read, making you believe that, in December, all things are possible.
Hopefully, that extends to me getting that tree up.

Oh, there are some people who keep their Christmas trees up all year around..and just put up different ornaments every month! But who does that anymore. Really, sometimes..less is more for the holidays..and yes, I am one of those that might not get to til mid January....kind of like our staff Christmas parties as of late. [speaking of which..my appointments got bumped up this week because of staff Christmas parties..I hear about those Crumble Cookie platters which I guess is all the rage these days!] ❄️❄️❄️❄️🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄Thanks so much for these wonderful Christmas reads! All the best to your health and fun times this holiday season! Wishing you loads of creativity to get all that decorating done..(✿◡‿◡)(✿◕‿◕✿)
I have had a few adventures in Christmas shopping..already. So it's best to keep those in the Christmas reads! These do sound perfect with some wonderful Christmas mint tea or Hot Chocolate. Thanks for suggesting these two Christmas Novels!❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️Oh, it feels we barely got any snow at all..although, someone was saying that from a Farmer's Almanac tale that we should at least get snow 25 times this winter..but I doubt that. It really is a dry winter here, unfortunately...of course, I like indoor activities..anyway..and at least the Barbie room has a tree..and a pink one, at that. Here's to Happy Crafting and everything that comes with Christmas.❄️🎄❄️🎄❄️🎄❄️🎄❄️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh, these two look delightful. I have Lucy Score's Christmas Fix, but I'm not sure I will get around to it...I have been doing my best to read up on decluttering..yet I'm just in the reading stages of it.🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Oh, Thanks for your comments..well, Elvis is still in the building. I guess I have always been one to want to know the Lost Causes..out there. (Better to know them this way) and it seems I have been writing more on the Pan, Roxann, Elvis angle as of late. But I did try to touch bases on the rest of the gang near the end of November. And who knows maybe they will all be closer together this December.💙❄️❄️💙❄️❄️💙 Oh, and the crown is on! It's great to hear from you. Thanks so much for your comments. Wishing you lots of Christmas Love and more. All the best to the holidays!
Cozy Christmas reads - you definitely can't beat that!! 🎄📚 The cover of the first book is especially so charming and cute! Lastly, your fireplace snapshot from last year is truly a joy to the eyes. So much colorful Christmas goodness in one shot!
Nice Christmas deco :D
We JUST got home from a cruise in the Caribbean . My kids and grandkids from NY plan to visit us in Florida for Christmas week so I'm really excited about that!! Your decorating from last year is bright, cheerful, and festive. I watch too much Netflix and don't. read enough. Every time I see your book review posts, I feel guilty!! Sounds like a cute book and perfect for the holiday season.
Some celebrate xmas in July, so whether it's up or down what does it matter? Most only leave their tree up for the month of December and tear them down on the first of January. Does it really matter anymore?
