That Christmas Feeling

December 3, 2020 by Helena Halme

Can you believe it’s December already? Do you have that Christmas feeling yet?

In Finland, we celebrate the start of the month with something called ‘Little Christmas’. Children get a small present left for them at the doorstep by Santa’s elves, and we decorate the house and set up the advent candles. In normal times, it’s the start of seasonal celebrations – there are office Christmas parties and festive markets everywhere.

Of course, even in Finland, there are many Covid restrictions in place this year with gatherings limited to ten people. The Christmas markets are canceled, and offices closed while employees work from home.

Here in London at least, it’s difficult to get that Christmas feeling this year, so I was delighted when I was sent pictures of my granddaughter decorating a tree at the weekend. She’s of the age when she is beginning to understand what Christmas is all about and is getting very excited.

Although I may not yet be fully into the Christmas spirit, I am excited about my writing projects, and the book offers I can share with you today.

AN ISLAND CHRISTMAS

And here’s something to give you that Christmas feeling!

Book 2 in Love on the Island series, AN ISLAND CHRISTMAS, which can also be read as a standalone story, is just $0.99 until 28 December.

AN ISLAND CHRISTMAS has been a huge favorite amongst readers, attracting mainly 4 and 5-star reviews. And it was ranked by Amazon as No #1 Hot New Release. I couldn’t be happier, because I loved writing this wintry tale about Alicia and her Swedish beau, Patrick, as well as the new characters, Alicia’s schoolfriend Brit and the sea captain, Jukka.

So why not take this opportunity to travel by book to a magical, snowy paradise, and get that Christmas feeling. 😉

Meeting the brilliantly inspiring @officialayosokale whose speech was just exceptional was a definite highlight as was seeing old and new friends.
