This week, I had the joy of mailing three signed copies of A Christmas Room to the winners of my very first Christmas in July giveaway.
There was something special about preparing each package.
Each book included a handwritten blessing, a Christmas bookmark, and a festive Christmas mailer. I wanted every package to feel like opening a Christmas gift, even in the middle of summer.
One of the greatest blessings of this giveaway wasn’t simply giving away books—it was reading your stories. Thank you to everyone who shared your favorite Christmas memories, family traditions, and treasured photos. Your comments were thoughtful, heartfelt, and a beautiful reminder of what Christmas truly means.
As I addressed each package, I found myself praying for the readers who would soon open them. My hope is that A Christmas Room brings faith, hope, and love into each of their homes, and reminds them that God is always present, even in life’s quietest moments.
To everyone who participated, thank you for making this first giveaway such a memorable experience. It certainly won’t be the last!
This is just the beginning, and I look forward to sharing more of my writing journey with you here.
Blessings,
Ellen M. DuBois
