Sorry. I gotta skip the theme because I am not reading anything related to it at all.

Gingerbread Danger by Amanda Flower
I would call this a whodunnit littered with candy, fudge, and gingerbread houses. The holiday spirit comes to life with a classic Christmas parade and a life-size Candy land game in the small town of Harvest, Ohio. While the mystery in itself was simple, the addition of romance and changing family dynamics makes it a wholesome Christmas read you would want to cozy up with by the fire.

Book & Author: Snipper Butterfly by Qi Bao Su

Review:

Just a brief mention of Christmas and the buzz around the marketing department designing and promoting seasonal products.

Overall - not my type of story but I was curious to know how the author justified the age gap

Quote(s):

The Christmas atmosphere within the company was equally rich. The ceiling was draped with cedar branches, from which hundreds of red and white Christmas baubles hung, illuminated by a sea of fairy lights, creating a dazzling display. Beneath the over-two-meter-tall, brilliantly decorated Christmas tree lay a spread of creative gifts brought by company members, expensive and cheap, exquisite and quirky, all up for grabs based purely on luck. A long white tabletop was covered with an assortment of desserts and pastries.

Review:

Love is dirty, and every couple proved it right

Quote(s):

Hospitals rarely had a Christmas atmosphere. The small roads and shops on either side of the hospital also isolated it from the holiday cheer. Hu Xiu placed a Christmas-themed crystal ball on her desk. When she turned it on, snow would fall inside the clear sphere. She had always loved Christmas, especially in Shanghai, where the holiday spirit was so strong.

(Chapter 45)

Someone outside cheered, and the whole space became noisy. The music was turned up. No Christmas can escape Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”
