You don't need to find an ugly Christmas sweater for this holiday party! The sweater, the fun, the Christmas cheer, and the romance are all included in three contemporary romantic Christian Christmas novels to keep your heart warm and merry.
♥ Begin with 12 Dates of Christmas
Reagan has hated—that is, intensely despised—Alex since he tormented her throughout her high school years, and now he acts like she’s crazy for demanding an apology. Challenged into accepting a date for every offense he can name, Reagan is confident she’ll be spending her Christmas vacation away from the big bad Alex.
♥ Continue with Merri’s Christmas Mission
All Merri wants is a pile of beautifully-wrapped presents under the tree for her three children. All Barney wants is a pool table for the Rockland Mission. They're determined to win, but the closer Christmas comes, the blurrier the prize becomes. Find out who wins today!
♥ Get cozy in an English-Inspired Village in: The Ghosts of New Cheltenham
When a plasmaphobic (terrified of ghosts, don’tcha know) has to enter a ghost storytelling contest to inherit, things get a bit… ghastly. Only the Kinsey sisters keep Mitchell from high-tailing it outta Dodge—erm, New Cheltenham.
♥ And conclude with The Second Noel
Breanne, friends, and a local fireman she still hasn’t forgiven for a “date and dash,” work to fulfill one little boy’s Christmas wish—and maybe a second chance at romance.
Grab a mug of hot cocoa, a few chocolate kisses, and cuddle up with Set 2 of the Christmas Book Party series—the “noella edition.”

Oh, was this bio day? Oops! I forgot. I was lost in my latest manuscript. Umm... bio. Yeah.
Hi! I’m Chautona Havig. (for those who care, that’s Shuh-TONE-uh HAVE-ig). Yeah. Just work with me here. I should have used a pseudonym, but when you grow up with a name like Chautona, it kind of sticks.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. ~ Hebrews 10: 23–25
Those aren’t just words on a page for me–they’re why I write. I write to encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ. The stories I create are to make people laugh, cry, question, consider.
They’re for you.
When the world screams for hope, I try to point you to the true Source of hope–Jesus.
Sometimes life in the church no longer seems a refuge from the pain of a self-serving world around us, but through my stories, I try to point you to the only Refuge that can truly help–the Father’s Everlasting Arms.
And sometimes we just need an escape from the monotony, the emptiness we see around us. We need joy, laughter–what I like to call “just the write escape.”
Christian fiction without apology or pretense–lived, not preached. What does that even mean? It means I care–about you. About your walk with Jesus. I care about the words you put before your eyes, the mental pictures those words conjure. It’s difficult to express just how much I love my brothers and sisters in Christ. It’s difficult to share just how much I love you.
But I do.
And I write for you. I sit in my little house in California’s Mojave Desert and I write to show you why one sister believes one thing, why a brother believes another. I write to show you how some Christians handle trials or triumphs–for you. So when you’re faced with something–good or bad, it doesn’t matter–maybe it’ll spark a memory. Maybe that memory will smolder until you pull out your Bible and see what the Lord said about it–about His great love for you. For YOU!
And maybe, just maybe, you’ll share that love with another hurting, confused, or blessed-with-more-than-she-knows-what-to-do-with soul.
I just happen to think that’s the most blessed giving anyone could hope to receive.
I’ve read all these but one before, so I borrowed this collection to get that final one! This is a good collection. My favorite is New Cheltenham! I’ll be honest and say I prefer this author’s other novellas to these, but these are still great! You can read all of these without having read her other works, but it would make it more enjoyable! Worth it!
