Christmas is not everybody’s favorite holiday. Historically, Jews in America, whether participating in or refraining from recognizing Christmas, have devised a multitude of unique strategies to respond to the holiday season. Their response is a mixed one: do we participate, try to ignore the holiday entirely, or create our own traditions and make the season an enjoyable time? This book, the first on the subject of Jews and Christmas in the United States, portrays how Jews are shaping the public and private character of Christmas by transforming December into a joyous holiday season belonging to all Americans. Creative and innovative in approaching the holiday season, these responses range from composing America’s most beloved Christmas songs, transforming Hanukkah into the Jewish Christmas, creating a national Jewish tradition of patronizing Chinese restaurants and comedy shows on Christmas Eve, volunteering at shelters and soup kitchens on Christmas Day, dressing up as Santa Claus to spread good cheer, campaigning to institute Hanukkah postal stamps, and blending holiday traditions into an interfaith hybrid celebration called “Chrismukkah” or creating a secularized holiday such as Festivus. Through these venerated traditions and alternative Christmastime rituals, Jews publicly assert and proudly proclaim their Jewish and American identities to fashion a universally shared message of joy and hope for the holiday season.

Eli's Christmas is a lovely, heart-warming story of a young boy who lived several years ago in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains.Since Eli's father was hurt in a tree-cutting accident, Eli has taken on his father's chores around the farm, as well as his own. While other children play ball after school, Eli heads to work at a local general store to help earn money for his family. Mr. Drucker, the storeowner, is very kind and pleasant to work for, and Eli works hard and is very helpful. Christmas is coming soon and the one gift that Eli is certain to get will be coming by a little train that comes every year on Christmas Eve. All the boys and girls in the community rush to the sound of the train whistle, and then the conductor passes out a present to each child. When faced with a choice to give his only present away, Eli does not hesitate to make another child happy. He knows there are so many other things to be thankful for, such as being with your family, enjoying fresh fallen snow and a wonderful Christmas meal. However, to his amazement, another surprise is just around the corner...

Skipping Christmas is easy. But it’s impossible to deny your heart… Eli Adair is the first call whenever his family and friends need a hand. But this Christmas, he has no obligations, so he’s taking a break from the stress of big family celebrations. No presents under the tree. No stockings by the fireplace. No twinkling lights. All he wants is to be home alone at Hillcrest House. Travel nurse Audrey Elliott is returning to Christmas Tree Cove hoping for a big holiday celebration like the ones on her grandparents’ farm—all she has left of happier times before her mom’s condition lost those memories. Candy canes. Gingerbread houses. Holiday carols. All Audrey wants is a place to call home for Christmas. When a high school friend assures her there’s plenty of room at Hillcrest House, it seems like all her Christmas dreams are coming true until she discovers she’ll be living with Eli, the boy she’s never forgotten. Or the first kiss they shared. Eli and Audrey are about to discover whether December is about reliving traditions—or making new ones.

"Fans of Robyn Carr and RaeAnne Thayne will enjoy [Yates's] small-town romance."—Booklist As the snow falls on Four Corners Ranch, all this untamed cowboy wants for Christmas is the family he’s never had… Cowboy Wolf Garrett is delighted his brother is happily married—really, he is. But time can never heal Wolf’s own wounds, so being surrounded by such marital joy is a bit…much. A trip to his extended family’s ranch in Copper Ridge seems the ideal change of scenery. Until he meets local innkeeper Violet Donnelly and realizes he’s exchanged one form of torture for another—trying, and spectacularly failing, to resist their instant, wildly hot chemistry. Violet knew Wolf was trouble the moment he walked into her inn. But it's a whole new level of trouble when she discovers that their secret nights have left her pregnant! Especially when she has six feet of gorgeous, furious cowboy demanding that she come home with him for the holidays and marry him. Wolf has lost more than she could ever imagine, but Violet believes in the power of love to heal, and she’ll do anything to give their future family a chance. Wolf has already given her so many firsts—dare she hope he’s about to become her first Christmas miracle too? Bonus novella included! Four Corners Ranch Book 1: Unbridled Cowboy
