Janet W: I’m with LeeB — this is where I start delving into all the Christmas Regency stories of years gone by. I hope I can find “It’s a Wonderful Christmas” on my shelves. I’m also a sucker for those dreadfully sugary sweet Hallmark Christmas movies. Lap ‘em up this time of year.

I like the movies sometimes – other times not so much.

leslie: Nora Roberts wrote a Christmas story where the hero gives the heroine the “12 Days of Christmas”presents in order to win her. It’s very sweet.I think it may be a MacGregor book.
Victoria Alexander’s A Visit from Sir Nicholas is a nice Christmas novel.And Barbara Metzger has some sweet Regency Christmas Novellas.Robyn Carr’s latest was forgettable.I just read it and can’t remember a thing about it,but the hero’s name.

Barbara Metzger had some adorable books. Her books made me laugh so much.

Susan/DC: One of my favorite Christmas stories is Edith Layton’s “A Gingerbread Man” from the Signet Regency collection “A Regency Christmas Feast”.It’s a charming friends-to-lovers story where the hero searches for the source of the gingerbread smell that has awakened him recently.He talks to friends and acquaintances, his mistress and his neighbors to ask them what they know of gingerbread, and the memories are both heartbreaking and heartwarming.Layton is a master at creating character in a few short paragraphs.I always recommend this when asked for holiday stories, and while OOP, it should be easy to find online or at a UBS.

Many years, my stocking stuffer book was the regency Christmas anthology. I don’t remember this one, but I did very much enjoy Layton’s books.

farmwifetwo: Winter Solstice by Rosamund Pilcher is a fav but currently packed away as we gut the spare room.I attempt the latest Carr and I haven’t managed to get past the first couple of chapters.

I don’t think I have ever read her- so i definitely need to check out this book. Thanks
