Book Lovers Holiday Giveaway Hop

Welcome! You've found the next stop on the Book Lovers Holiday Giveaway Hop!
For this hop stop, I'm giving away the new YA holiday book bloggers are calling "a Yuletide classic" and "a Christmas favorite to be read year after year."

North Pole High: A Rebel Without a Claus, a memoir by Santa's daughter, Candace Jane Kringle.

Every father dreads the day his daughter starts dating. Even Santa Claus!

North Pole High: A Rebel Without a Claus tells the story of sixteen-year-old Candycane Claus, the most popular girl in school, whose world is turned upside down when Rudy Tutti is assigned to work with her on a school Christmas-tree project. The new boy is hot chocolate, but he hates everything to do with Christmas. As Candy and Rudy grow closer, Santa's opposition to his daughter's blossoming romance puts Christmas in jeopardy. Now it's up to the two North-Star-cross'd teens to save the day and restore joy to the world!

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Open Internationally! Winner's choice: Signed paperback ARC (US only) or ebook (Kindle/EPUB).

    I really like traditional Christmas hymns like 'We Three Kings'. Preferably with a full choir and some organ music.

    We Three Kings is excellent! I saw the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing that on TV once. :)

      I love "Let it Snow" too, but why is that weather considered "frightful"? It's perfectly normal weather here in the North Pole! LOL. :D

    Kim, one of my friends is Silentnight. I'm pretty sure he was named after the song!

    Julie, yes, that's a pretty song as "Greensleeves" too.

  15. Candycane ClausDecember 6, 2012 at 3:58 AM

    Thank you, Gaby. I hadn't heard that one before. It's funny.

    Cassandra, I like that one too, but it's kind of sad when you think about it. Only in my dreams?

    Jamie, how could anyone not like snow? I guess I'm just used to it since we have SO MUCH of the stuff here in the freezing North Pole. LOL.

    Me too, Kayley! I love the part where they go merry-merry-merry-merry Christmas! :)

    *Last Christmas* by Wham!

    One year, I found 47 versions of this song. It's well-loved, and has been remade by lots of artists and groups, and even in Korean and Japanese, too.

    Hi Erma. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas because even though we always have a lot of snow at the North Pole, we can never see it because it's always night here at Christmastime. :(

    No disrespect, April, but I find that song a little icky because she's singing about my DAD. LOL.

    Good choice, Erika. I've got some corn for popping... :)

    That song rocks, Becca! :D

    Honeyb717, I liked seeing Mariah sing with Santa on the tree-lighting special from Rockefeller Center. :)

    Susan, if I get to pick for you between those two, I'm going with What Child Is This? :)

    Sarah, that's a great one, with or without words.
