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.

It was to young for me
Fun read with some spiritual lessons worked in. The ending seemed rushed. The characters changes in relationship seemed abrupt and could have used a more gradual transition.
I have enjoyed all Diane’s books
Very cute Christian romance. Loved it and will happily read it again, and recommend to my mom.
This was an excellent book and I loved it. It was so well written. It kept my attention from beginning to end. I felt as if I were right there with the characters. They were so real to me! The ending was superb. I read FICTION because I like happy endings, and I loved this one!
This is so true to life about small town committees but it inspires to stop worrying because “it will all work out.” It did in the end.
A fun book to read. It will cheer you up.
This book was very inspirational in how the characters were portrayed in her writing. There are some twist and turns in the story, that made it very hard to put down as you wanted to know what was going to happen next. I believe this book will be come a time with classic, And it is definitely a book to read for people who find themselves …
Loved the characters and the twists and turns. Couldn’t put it down.
Fun book for a teenage audience.
Great writer. You are drawn into the characters from the first page until the last.
I couldn’t finish this book. The storyline was redundant and there were no unique elements to keep me engaged. Books like this are what give inspiration reads a bad name.
That said if you have extra time to kill (need something for lines or waiting rooms) this book won’t distract from the task on hand.
Great read. I didn’t want to set it down to find out what would happen next.
Good characters and easy read. Plot was similar to some others but well done.
As we read Happily ever after, romance We all kind of know where it is going… the trick is that the Author wants you to keep turning the page and hold your interest. This book had a few surprises. and kept you turning the pages. It was better than I thought it would be and I really enjoyed it. sorry to see it end.
Great book to take to the beach or to the pool. A real page turner. Could not put down. Every chapter made me want more.
I love the whole Bleau series. Made me laugh and cry. Great combo of emotions. I would love to see more of this family.
