However, when the production is over and her skin is still green, no matter how many showers she takes, Ivy finds out that the dye was recalled for being excessively long-lasting.

Losing more holiday spirit with every green joke, Ivy grumbles her way through life while trying to adjust to her new reality. But how will she be able to face the world now that she’s green? How could she even consider a relationship with Derek if she can’t even look at herself in the mirror? How can Ivy regain her sense of holiday spirit, even if she wanted to?
Find out in this sweet and spicy Christmas romantic comedy novella that will take you on a journey to the fictional town of Clarett, Illinois where everyone loves the theater, the Fall Festival never disappoints, and traditions bring families together.
Review
"I’ll Be Green for Christmas is a perfectly delightful holiday treat. When Ivy finds her skin dyed green with permanent ink (oops!) to star in a local production of Wicked, she has trouble getting in the Christmas spirit. She is ready to hibernate for the winter with her cat. But with a protective best friend who tries to drag her out of her funk and parents who insist she show up for work in their eatery green or not, can Ivy snap out of bah humbug and find the true Christmas spirit? This was exactly what I needed - a feel good Christmas rom com with great characters, witty dialogue and a story that will make you believe again in what Christmas is all about. Highly recommended"
