B&B PRESS BLUE CHRISTMAS PARTY: Merry Christmas! Deck the halls! Joy to the World! Really? Year after year, the forced frivolity, gratuitous gluttony, and crass commercialism of the holiday season pegs Christmas with a kind of fairy-tale sentimentality existing in a world where there is no conflict, no anger, no hatred, and no criticism, a world in which there is no warfare in any form.

Readers now can rest easy; there’s no trace of this sugarcoated existence in Blue Christmas: Holiday Stories for the Rest of Us: An Anthology (B&B Press, $17) . Instead, they are offered the gift of candor, suspense, and substance, showing them that Christmas can be both the best of times and the worst of times. Edited by award-winning novelist John Dufresne, Blue Christmas is a collection of 17 original stories written by some of today’s finest contemporary authors exploring a variety of Christmas experiences.

Tonight, join Mitchell Kaplan, John Dufresne, Robert Goolrick, Lynne Barrett and Les Standiford, among others, for a celebration of the new B&B Press imprint, a project of Books & Books. We’ll be serving up blue Christmas mojitos, some yuletide surprises and a few blue Christmas stories of our own!
