Merry HumBug Christmas Book Review
Do you ever feel like everybody else is in the Christmas spirit and you just feel the urge to say Bah Humbug? Merry Humbug Christmas is a set of Christmas novellas sure to take the grumpiest Scrooge and help them find some Christmas spirit! These two books tell the stories of two best friends who have made a pact to never celebrate Christmas, but then one member of the duo becomes a traitor and goes off with a new fiance to celebrate Christmas Norman Rockwell style.
I loved reading these two novellas. They were easy, uncluttered story lines that would never play out in real life, but were definite holiday hits!
Merry HumBug Christmas Book Review
“Once Upon a Jingle Bell” is the story of Joss who books the Bah Humbug Cruise where she is guaranteed to have absolutely nothing to do with Christmas. Instead she finds herself up to her ears in ugly Christmas sweaters, sparkling candy cane earrings and the love of her life!
“It Came Upon a Midnight Deer” is a comedy of problems from start to finish. Reese and her fiance head to the mountain retreat to celebrate the holidays with his family. But Reese is sure to have problems with the in-laws when she sets the kitchen on fire, runs over the brothers foot and almost poisons the dog.
Both of these books are squeaky clean books full of laughable situations and loads of Christmas cheer.

About the Two Tales
A Merry Humbug Christmas features two holiday romance novellas from hilarious and heartwarming author Sandra D. Bricker. — the perfect gift to yourself or someone else at this most wonderfully stressful time of year.
In “Once Upon a Jingle Bell,” A Bah! Humbug cruise to the Mexican Riviera is Joss Snow’s answer to this year’s quest to avoid the holidays completely; at least until she’s rebooked on a different kind of cruise altogether. Candy canes, holly wreaths, reindeer and ornaments seem to be stalking her on the 12 Days of Christmas holiday cruise extravaganza. An escape back to land is her only goal . . . until she meets a kindred spirit in rugged Irishman Patrick Brenneman, and then the game is on! Avoid Christmas festivities at all costs . . . except maybe for that one stop under the mistletoe.
In “It Came Upon a Midnight Deer,” Reese’s guilt over abandoning best friend Joss on their holiday tradition of avoiding all things Christmas is trumped by the joy of her recent engagement. Meeting Damian’s family for the first time on idyllic Sugarloaf Mountain is about as far from that Bah! Humbug cruise as she can get, and Reese can hardly wait to get there. But from the moment they hit that deer in the road just two miles from the cabin, everything seems to go wrong. There are no drummers drumming or pipers piping this particular year! And once she sets her future in-laws’ family cabin ablaze, she’s pretty sure there won’t be even ONE golden ring in her future.
