Many readers enjoy Christmas novels/novellas. Much like they enjoy Christmas movies and Hallmark Christmas Specials. I do not.
I have included Christmas celebrations in two of my novels, but each one is just a part of the timing in the storyline not the main feature.
For someone whose favorite holiday is Christmas, and it always has been for me, there's no explanation for my "aversion" to Christmas movies or books. I probably fit in better with the crowd who exclaim that the Bruce Willis film Die Hard is the best Christmas movie - or perhaps Home Alone. Yet, every year I cry when I watch the Wells Fargo Christmas commercial.
I always look forward to Christmas once summer has concluded. "It's the most wonderful time of the year!"
But here's the most important part: Jesus Is the Reason for the Season and nothing can top that fact.
Jesus, thank you is never enough. You experienced humanity so we could see what perfection looked like, and then you took the horror of our sins upon yourself for our redemption. You salvaged the mess we were and gave us the white robes washed in your sinless Blood. Thank you will never be enough. In your Name above all names, the Name of Jesus, Amen.
