One Day in December

by Josie Silver

Sarah is my best friend in the entire world, and however much and for however long it kills me, I’ll never silently, secretly hold up signs to tell Jack O’Mara, without hope or agenda, that to me he is perfect, and that my wasted heart will always love him.

Honestly, this line reflects my enduring affection for all of those wonderful nostalgic Christmas movies, Love Actually in particular. I think I actually sighed with pleasure as I wrote it, it’s my tribute to the comfort and joy those movies bring us.
