A Very Holly Christmas is a short story sequel to On Strike for Christmas by Sheila Roberts.
In On Strike for Christmas the women go on strike to get the men and kids to help with all the preparations for Christmas. It is now a year later and the men and boys still have the holiday spirit. Of course, they want to do it their way. Over-decorated yards and anatomically correct gingerbread men abound. Sharon finds, and reads, a few pages of her husband's latest novel which is about a man killing his wife for Christmas. She realizes the strike went too far.
This short story is delightful and just the right length for a hectic weekend. There have been some problems with the Kindle copy of this short story. A bonus chapter from The Nine Lives of Christmas is included at the end but when the book is opened it goes to the beginning of the bonus. All you have to do is go back manually to "After that Christmas Strike....."
A short, light read for free is worth the slight inconvenience. If you like A Very Holly Christmas Shelia Roberts has several light Christmas reads you may want to check out. You can get it from on the Nook or from iTunes.
