Welcome Back, Booklovers. The holiday season is my favorite time of year and even as a kid I loved watching the Christmas movies replay on tv in July. When I worked in retail I loved that our store would sell discounted Christmas stuff cheap because I would stock up on décor. Now people are even having big celebrations. But one of the cool things I've seen authors embracing is putting their Christmas books on sale so even if you don't want to read them this month there's still the chance to score a good deal.

Bundle up and head outside to help them plant their future Holly-day After trees. After all, the traditions we start today can live on forever!
