Christmas is just around the corner and romance novelists Samantha Chase, Kim Redford and Terry Spear are here to help get you in the holiday spirit. We’ve asked them all to share their characters’ favorite Christmas memory as well as their own!
Samantha Chase (The Christmas Cottage/Ever After):
For the last 15 years we’ve hosted a dessert open house every Christmas Eve. Up until a year ago, we lived in a super-tiny house. Seriously, it was under 1,000 square feet. One Christmas we had over 30 people come for dessert! It was wall-to-wall people and yet it didn’t feel like it. We were all laughing and celebrating and eating – there were more desserts than you can even imagine – and every time I think of that night, I smile. We were all transplants to the area with no family to spend the holiday with so for that night, we were each other’s family.
For Lacey, it’s about finally getting the man of her dreams at Christmas!
Kim Redford (A Cowboy Firefighter for Christmas):
I’ll always remember the sparkling snow outside frosted windows contrasted with the roaring fire inside the huge, stone fireplace at the old lodge near the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
As for my hero, his favorite is memories of riding his favorite horse across Wildcat Ranch to his cousin’s nearby ranch for early morning breakfast with loved ones.
Terry Spear (A Silver Wolf Christmas):
When my dad asked me to let our toy poodle outside, when she wasn’t telling us she needed to go out. I should have suspected something was up. And there were four bicycles for all four of us to ride. My mom and dad and sister and me. It wouldn’t have been the same if there had just been a bicycle for my sister and me. It was a promise to do things as a family that made it so special. And I had a basket on front to carry Taffy, our toy poodle, with us on biking trips.
For the hero and heroine, this holiday will be the most special of all, their first Christmas together, and the making of all new traditions.
