Synopsis

Cumming, Georgia journalist Jessica
Holland isn't feeling the joy of the holiday. Recently dumped by someone she
didn't even love, she's more fa la la la blah than fa la la la la. So when
her best friend Ashley forces her to sit on Santa's lap at the local mall,
the Scrooge in her comes out. Jessica doesn't believe in Santa - that silly
myth is only for children. Or is he? When Santa tells Jessica he'll give her
whatever she wants for Christmas and that she'll finally believe in his
magic, she asks for the one thing she knows he can't give. She asks for true
love. But can Santa make that happen? |

1.
Ho! Ho! Ho! Santa is for everyone, my
dear. He is magical. God bestowed upon Santa a very serious responsibility, a
gift to teach children and adults how to believe in something beyond the
reach of their senses. You and many others need this ability to believe, because
it’s not just about Santa, it’s about the magic of things unseen, things
untouchable, things like true love, things you will hold dear during your happiest
and hardest moments. That is what Santa gives you, my dear, the power to
believe in something when there is no reason. 2.
“I’m not going anywhere, my dear and I already
know what it is you seek, what your heart desires.” “Well then, if you already
know, why did you ask?” “Because my dear, one
cannot see the unseen, experience the magic of Santa without expressing their
desire. You must tell me for me to make it real.” 3.

about these things.” |

(3) The phrase "the jury is out"
means that a decision has not yet been made or that something is still under
consideration. It originally comes from the legal world, where a jury
deliberates before reaching a verdict in a trial. If the jury hasn't reached
a decision, it's said to be "out," meaning the matter is still
unresolved. Source: chatgpt —————— เธ

probably think this is a book about a serial killer luring a girl to his
house. —————— เธ

——————— (5) "Reading between the lines"
means to interpret something beyond its literal or obvious meaning, often to
uncover hidden messages, implications, or subtleties that are not explicitly
stated. This phrase suggests looking deeper
into a situation or text to grasp the full meaning, sometimes when things are
not directly said, but can be inferred. Source: chatgpt —————— เธ
