From Amazon bestselling author Diane Moody.Sometimes the best Christmas presents aren’t found under the tree . . .Working late on Christmas Eve, college senior Hannah Brooks is in the midst of a full-blown pity party. When a last-minute customer brimming with holiday spirit invites her to a candlelight service and a late-night family dinner, Hannah reluctantly accepts. She has no idea this … accepts. She has no idea this kindhearted woman is the mother of Jason McKenzie – leader singer of Out of the Blue, the hottest band in the country – and Hannah’s childhood idol. The evening ends with an innocent kiss (sans mistletoe) as Hannah is swept away by Jason’s unpretentious manner.
Over the holidays Hannah and Jason’s relationship grows, but when turmoil and tragedy strike at the very heart of his famous band, their newfound love is put to the test in the glare of the paparazzi spotlight. Throughout her rollercoaster of experiences with Jason and his friends, Hannah comes face to face with her own beliefs. Who knew she could learn more about prayer and faith by hanging out with a bunch of rock stars than she ever learned in church?
The author first wrote Blue Christmas as a gift for her then-teenage daughter in honor of her affection for a wildly popular band in the late 90s. The short story grew into a full-length novel, eventually surfacing on one of the band’s fan fiction websites where it became quite a phenomenon. More than 80,000 readers stopped by to read the story, with over 1000 of them sending personal emails to the author who still enjoys reading them today. Though the story’s details have been changed, its band and all characters now fictional, the story line remains the same. Author Diane Moody has dedicated Blue Christmas to her now-grown daughter, Hannah Moody.

Up to the standards that Mary Kay Andrews’ reader expect
I downloaded this ebook a couple years ago and I’ve read it about three times so far. It is a wonderful Christmas story.
Funny
Basically an elongated short story with not much to recommend. Like watching a Hallmark movie.
Delightful Christmas story
Love Mary Kay Andrews take on southern life.
Weazie Foley is such a like quirky character. Having grown up in the ’50s…I can relate to the theme of this book and felt like I was right there. Blue Christmas’s characters are odd yet loveable, the story is amusing .unpredictable, a bit sad, but warms your heart. I felt right at home as I read this book…couldn’t put it down. It is easy to …
Fun read.
love any thing by Mary Kay Andrews
I love all of Mary Kay Andrews’ books. Her characters are so well developed that I feel like I know them . I am always sad when the book is over and look forward to the next one.
Read it the year it came out, so don’t remember much except it was fast-read, which is good during the preparations of the holidays, and remember it had just enough romance to give one hope if alone for that Christmas. It was a feel-good, sweet book. I hope this helps. Unless you are looking for more, I know you will enjoy it and be glad to have …
