The Novel:Holidate (Dating #3)The Author: Monica MurphyThe Noobies: Alanna ReganThe Synopsis:Candice Gaines loves Christmas. Not only does she bask in the twinkling lights, sing Christmas carols and go crazy with the decorations, she’s also in the giving spirit, donating much of her time and wealth to various charities in the local area.Charlie Sullivan despises Christmas. Though it keeps his family afloat, considering they own Sullivan Family Christmas Tree Farm, the main provider for Christmas trees on the Monterey peninsula. He’d much rather work among the trees versus have to deal with people.But Charlie’s parents are taking on more philanthropic projects—and as their oldest child, they want him to be their official public representative. He just has to play nice and convince everyone he’s not a total holiday hater.When Charlie’s mom asks Candice to accompany him to a variety of holiday parties and events, she reluctantly agrees. She thinks Charlie is a big ol’ Grinch, but is determined to change his mindset and help him spread Christmas cheer. Charlie finds Candice too chatty, too sweet, too much. Do people like her really exist?Why yes, yes they do. The more time they spend together—along with a few kisses under the mistletoe—the more they start to like each other. Hopefully Charlie can convince Candice he doesn’t have a heart that’s two sizes too small before the ball drops on New Year’s Eve.Show Notes: - The 2nd Day of Boobsmas is here!- Remembering the emo 2000's with my guest, Alanna- Middle school fashion faux-pas...- The struggle of celebrating the holidays with multiple families in multiple places (00:05:34)- Traveling during the 2020 Holiday Season- Hallmark movie rec: "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year"- Creating new holiday traditions during the pandemic- The great debate on holiday music (00:12:31)- Kelly's favorite "winter cafe jams" - Introducing Holidate by Monica Murphy - NOT the Netflix movie (00:15:36)- Holidate vs. "Holidate" (Netflix)- The not-so-quick synopsis (and a potential drinking game?)- A California Christmas story- Wall Street billionaire meets Christmas tree lot owner?- Serial killers can own Christmas tree farms, too...
