This book was cute enough. Blue Christmas was the better of the two stories. I can't say I really loved either story but Blue Christmas with it's Scrooge like character meeting the woman he really wants and deciding the country life was for him over the high paced city life.While Blue Christmas was cute it was a little cliche.Jinx Christmas was a little much and, I thought, too short for the story to really develop. A Dixie Christmas is two novellas in one book and I enjoyed both stories. Both set around the Christmas holiday they are fun, light hearted and romantic. Blue Christmas is based in Memphis and when a business man comes to town to check out the hotel that was owned by his recently deceased father, he is determined to sell the hotel and get out of there as quick as possible. That is until he meets a family desperate for money to keep their farm afloat and who have come up with an Elvis themed Nativity and he falls head over heals for the Elvis Virgin Mary. Jinx Christmas is an endearing story about a NASCAR driver who has been in love with his ex wife since they were in elementary school and still loves her and would do literally anything to get her back, even if it means making a fool of himself in front of 500 strangers.These two stories have likeable characters and are quick easy reads that have just enough reference to Christmas and provide a bit of romance for the holidays.
What do You think about A Dixie Christmas (2011)?
A short story where not a lot happens. Good quick read but not much to get your teeth into!
