I don't need a present for Christmas because you fulfilled all my wishes. ... Perpetually single Blair Hawthorne is perfectly content with her life in the small town of Mislin Bush. She owns an antique shop and she's surrounded by family. Too bad that family is pressuring her to find a husband, or at the very least, a significant other before she faces yet another holiday season unattached. Making matters worse, Mislin Bush is crazy about holiday romance, especially in light of the local custom of hanging up mistletoe in every corner of the town. In Mislin Bush, couples kissing under the mistletoe isn't just tradition, it's town pride. When a handsome stranger arrives unexpectedly, Blair is determined to resist not only his charm, but the mistletoe. Despite her growing attraction to him, she's in no mood for romance, not even during the most wonderful time of the year. Colson Bennett might have roots in Mislin Bush, but he's a hotshot executive from the city. Small time life is a change of pace for him. An even bigger change of pace? Beautiful, feisty girl-next-door Blair who is nothing like the upper-class ice queens he's used to dating back in the city. As the heir to a family fortune, Colson is expected to marry a fellow blue blood – the exact opposite of down to earth Blair. But when he arrives in town to settle a deceased relative's affairs, Colson decides that only a small-town girl like Blair can help him handle his family's valuable antiques. As things heat up between them, Colson gets into the holiday spirit for the first time in his life. For once, he's putting work aside to get close to someone special. In a town where perfect strangers fall in love under the mistletoe, can Colson break tradition and follow his heart in time for Christmas?

Six years ago, he was her one-night stand, and now they’re sharing a villa for the holidays. I thought I was over him. That his good looks and British accent couldn’t affect me anymore. But the minute our eyes lock across the elevator, all those feelings come roaring back to life. Then I find out we’re competing for the same job. Next comes the realization that we have to spend a week together on a ski vacation because of some six-degree-of-separation nonsense. The real kicker is when I find out the two of us have to share a villa. A very small, very cozy villa. Needless to say, this Christmas getaway is starting off rockier than the mountains we’ll be skiing down. I’ve stayed away for years, what’s one week? But I forgot how much easier it is to ignore him with an ocean separating us—especially when he’s determined to win me back.

Life is the most difficult exam…. The hottest guy on campus wasn't the head of the football team or the class president. He was the teaching assistant assigned to my art history class. I knew it was wrong to get involved, but I couldn't help myself. I never met anyone who could talk about all the great painters with such passion. Looking deep into his eyes, I felt like I met my soulmate. The only problem was the university's policy against teaching assistants and undergraduates dating. And my brother, who hated the idea. And my sister, who wanted to date my crush. Oh yeah, and my parents and his parents and the world in general. Basically everyone we knew had some reason they wanted us to stay away from each other. Flying in the face of all rational arguments, Liam and I knew we were meant to be together. It didn't matter how much trouble we would get in. But when he buckled under pressure from the dean and called things off, I suffered the worst kind of betrayal. He was in my heart and in my mind even though I wasn't allowed to be with him. And then my brother invited him to share Christmas with the family, so he was literally right down the hall. This would end in nothing but heartbreak.

A kiss is a secret told to the mouth instead of the ear… I have an embarrassing secret. I'm a romance writer who's never had sex. All the steamy scenes in my books are made up out of thin air, but my readers don't seem to notice. I rocketed to the top of the genre charts with my series Queen of Brooklyn. It's the story of a mafia princess named Marianna who has to choose between two gorgeous men who are each perfect for her in their own way. The problem is, I can't finish it because I have no clue what true love feels like. In walks Jace, a male escort hired by my literary agent to teach me the ways of the world. She's afraid that I won't be able to handle all the high-powered Hollywood producers who are interested in turning my books into film. What better solution than to give me my very own arm candy? But though dating and sex are part of the package, true feelings are forbidden. The more time I spend with Jace, the more I feel myself falling for him. Am I destined for a broken heart or could the boyfriend vibes I'm getting from him be real? Does he have feelings for me too, or am I just another paying customer? I have to find out before it's too late and I end up handing my heart over to a professional.

Film plays a vital role in the celebration of Christmas. For decades, it has taught audiences about what the celebration of the season looks like – from the decorations to the costumes and to the expected snowy weather – as well as mirrors our own festivities back to us. Films like It’s a Wonderful Life and Home Alone have come to play key roles in real-life domestic celebrations: watching such titles has become, for many families, every bit as important as tree-trimming and leaving cookies out for Santa. These films have exported the American take on the holiday far and wide and helped us conjure an image of the perfect holiday. Rather than settling the ‘what is a Christmas film?’ debate – indeed, Die Hard and Lethal Weapon are discussed within – Analyzing Christmas in Film: Santa to the Supernatural focuses on the how Christmas is presented on the deluge of occasions when it appears. While most Christmas films are secular, religion makes many cameos, appearing through Nativity references, storylines involving spiritual rebirth, the framing of Santa as a Christ-like figure and the all-importance of family, be it the Holy family or just those gathered around the dining table. Also explored are popular narratives involving battles with stress and melancholy, single parents and Christmas martyrs, visits from ghosts and angels, big cities and small towns, break-ups and make-ups and the ticking clock of mortality. Nearly 1000 films are analyzed in this volume to determine what the portrayal of Christmas reveals about culture, society and faith as well as sex roles, consumerism, aesthetics and aspiration.
