Christmas is a magical time of year, and people love celebrating those traditions and seeing them play out vicariously via characters they love. After all, who doesn't love cocoa, jammies, and a Hallmark movie marathon at Christmas time. However, how do you write the perfect Christmas-themed book?
This class will look a bit at some of the wide variety of Christmas traditions around the world, as well as some of the favorite tropes of Christmas-set books, including themes like snowed in, holiday contest, going home to that small town for Christmas, and Christmas magic integrated in the form of elves and the man in the red suit himself. Come along, and find a way to channel your favorite memories, traditions, and holiday spirit for a chance to create memorable and popular Christmas-set novels.
