Blue Christmas
Blue Christmas | Mary Kay Andrews
25 posts | 27 read | 7 to read
'Tis the week before Christmas, and antiques dealer Weezie Foley is in a frenzy to do up her shop right for the Savannah historical district decorating contest, which she fully intends to win. Her motif is Graceland Blue Christmas, with lots of tinsel, an aluminum tree, and enough tacky retro doodads to fill the Grand Ole Opry. But no sooner is she certain she's one-upped the trendy shop around the corner when Weezie notices things going strangely missing from her display. Despite the petty burglaries of her mysterious midnight visitor, Weezie still has high hopes for the holiday. Perhaps even an engagement ring is in the offing from her chef boyfriend, though Daniel, usually moody around the yuletide, seems even more distant than ever. Throw in some seasonal eccentricities from Weezie's decidedly odd family, a miraculous 1950s Christmas-tree pin, and a little help from the King (Elvis!) himself, and even Scrooge would have to agree there's real magic in the Savannah air this Christmas

I picked this one up on a whim because the book I had chosen for #2006 for #19822022 challenge was actually published in 2005. I didn‘t realize this was part of a series and I probably would have liked it even more if I had read the other books. There‘s a little bit of mystery, romance, laughter and a whole lot of Christmas! Short, fast read! #winterreadathon

I made it halfway through this one before bailing for better things. I didn't love the characters & wasn't interested in the plot. This is the 3rd book in a series so maybe if I had read the first two I would have cared more

Week 1 of the #WinterGames complete with 2630 pts for #MistletoeManiacs
This book was cute, but just kind of was. There was good plot pieces sprinkled throughout but nothing that was drastic enough to hold the whole story. Super fast read and heartwarming moments. Another book done for my #AVeryMerryBingo board, too!

Beautiful poem.The image is from Jan Richardson‘s website.
I had no idea that “Blue Christmas” was more than Elvis‘s song. Or that the winter Solstice, the longest day of the year, was also celebrated by early Christians as “Blue Christmas”, a day to honor grief/darkness-later part of advent traditions.

LOVE stories of others decorating. I wasn't raised celebrating Christmas (that's another post) so I've had to make my own traditions. I have my Pfaltzgraff Winterberry dishes out and Poinsettias everywhere. I reread Blue Christmas every year just for the decorations, music and recipes. Crazy family story is hilarious bonus.

Tropical Storm Cindy is putting a damper on my beach vacation.

Having worked retail for more years than I care to mention, I'm not a huge Christmas fan. But I do love a heartwarming Christmas novella. No surprise, MKA delivers one. Laugh out loud funny. Once again, the whole family wanted to know what I was giggling about.

No #secretsantagoespostal package waiting for me when I got home from work. I'm sad. But I am excited to see tomorrow if my recipient likes what I got them! @BookishMarginalia
The pic is from my favorite Christmas cartoon.

Bookworm54 I hope it arrives soon! 8y
saresmoore Fingers crossed that it will come soon! 8y
Jhullie Oh how upsetting. The one I sent is still floating around in the universe, I sent a second parcel just so she would have something to open at the same time as everyone else. Luckily she got it today. I hope yours arrives soon 😟 8y

I read this book every Christmas, I bought it 10 years ago as a gift for someone but couldn't part with it. She got something else and I kept the book 😉💙📘

Bostonmomx2 MKA is a definite must read for me. Of all her books, I think I've only read 2 stinkers. I don't specifically remember this one but it wasn't a stinker lol 8y

I don't have an #ereader I prefer paperbacks and hardcovers in my hands. So I am cheating with PhotoLab for today's #seasonsreadings2016.

Love Blue Christmas because of the descriptions of decorations. Gets me in the mood. Also love to Reread Christmas chapters in Betsy-Tacy books. December I'm all about Christmas stories.
