Most of us look forward to Christmas all year round, usually for various reasons. There are a few people out there that do not look forward to Christmas, also for various reasons. Sometimes it is fun to look at what great lengths people will go to avoid a holiday they find annoying, to busy, or to painful to celebrate.
Merry Humbug Christmas by Sandra D. Bricker has two stories between the covers about different people trying to avoid the holidays (sort of). With humor and fun Sandra reminds us all that the holidays are not always brightness and happiness for everyone, but also they are not all about us either.
In the first story "Once Upon a Jingle Bells" Joss snow heads on a Bah! Humbug Riviera cruise to avoid any sense of Christmas. The problems arise when she is booked on the wrong cruise, a 12 days of Christmas extravaganza. What is she going to do? Until she meets a kindred soul and then the games begin. Story #2 is "It Came Upon a Midnight Deer." Reese feels guilty for abandoning Joss on their annual anti-Christmas cruise, but her engagement has trumped everything else. Reese is going to meet her fiancé's family which is nerve racking enough, but when the hit a deer close to the cabin everything seems to go down hill.
So whether you are a fan of Christmas or not, these two delightful stories will quickly put you into that warm and cozy holiday feeling we all long for. Even if we don't know it.
Happy Reading
