Winterträume am Kamin

The Christmas setting feels so integral to the story’s emotional arcs. I wonder if the holiday spirit was always meant to mirror their growth or if it evolved during writing.

The book made me laugh out loud but also brought tears to my eyes. It’s rare to find a holiday story that hits both tones so well — did others feel the same?

The Santa suit felt like such a powerful image—almost like a second chance wrapped in red. I’m curious whether that came from a personal memory or a specific story the author wanted to tell.
