“May your darkest days always be filled with light. May your home always be filled with family and love. May your holidays always be filled with memories new and old. May your coldest days be filled with warmth.” (7)
“Forgiveness. Darkness. Light. Hope.” (178)
I felt like I fell into a Hallmark Christmas movie. Single 40 year old looking for a perfect match. MUST be a “Santa” and LOVE books. The Single Kringle. I was hooked on the pursuit of the perfect Santa match. Although the storyline dragged a little in the middle, the ending did not disappoint. Loss. Grief. Forgiveness. Love.
“We’re only strangers to one another if we choose not to connect.” (265)
My grandmother was an expert at talking to people she didn’t know, finding those links that allowed her to relate to strangers. In the novel, Susan made connections that bridged gaps, brought communities together, and healed lives. Having a conversation, seeking ways to find friendships. I suppose that is what the Christmas season is all about…and maybe connections should be sought each and every day.
A Santa Connection!
