  "The Twelve Days of Christmas" and "The Night Before Christmas" are two classic holiday pieces that capture the festive spirit of Christmas in distinct ways. 
   
  "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is a traditional Christmas carol that dates back to the 18th century. The song describes a series of increasingly elaborate gifts given on each of the twelve days of Christmas, starting with a "partridge in a pear tree" and culminating with "twelve drummers drumming." Each verse builds upon the previous one, creating a cumulative effect that celebrates the joy and abundance of the holiday season. The melody's repetitive structure and whimsical gifts have made it a favorite for holiday sing-alongs and celebrations. 
   
  "The Night Before Christmas", also known as "A Visit from St. Nicholas", is a beloved poem written by Clement Clarke Moore and first published in 1823. This iconic poem vividly describes the anticipation and excitement of Christmas Eve. It narrates the visit of Santa Claus, capturing the magic of his arrival as he delivers gifts to children while they sleep. The poem introduces many now-familiar details about Santa Claus's appearance and his method of delivering presents, contributing significantly to the modern image of Santa. 
   
  Both works have become integral to Christmas traditions, each adding its unique touch to the celebration of the holiday season. "The Twelve Days of Christmas" with its festive and accumulated charm, and "The Night Before Christmas" with its magical depiction of Santa's visit, together help to create the rich tapestry of Christmas lore and cheer.

Far beyond that, Mr. Giuliano is a dedicated lifelong devotee of the Christmas season as reflected in his enchanting work. Specially, priced so that everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

  About this book:. 
  The story of a psychopath. 
  Karl Liebknecht - the main character of this novel - loses his young wife and parents on the same day in a car accident caused by a drunk Yugoslav lorry driver. Liebknecht, a conscientious case worker at the social welfare office, withdraws more and more into himself until one day he unintentionally kills a young Yugoslavian girl. He tells himself that she was 'only' a member of the same people who had killed his family. Liebknecht comes into contact with neo-Nazi circles and begins to hunt down foreign drug dealers and prostitutes. Initially, the victims are merely beaten up - but later Liebknecht, who has begun to steel his body through strength training, switches to locking the victims in his cellar and then murdering them. Liebknecht kidnaps the wife of Inspector Werner, who suspected the real perpetrator very early on but was unable to produce any evidence, and makes her play sex games with three Africans in front of a hidden camera. Liebknecht sends the recorded videos to the press and police and begins a game of cat and mouse to break free from the boredom of daily monotony. The inspector's assistant detective is also kidnapped and murdered. Liebknecht transforms from a staid civil servant into a sarcastic monster, but loves his black housekeeper Agatha, who supports him wholeheartedly in his perverse misdeeds....

  When I accepted the offer to work on a movie set, I had no idea I was agreeing to be the lead actor's fake girlfriend. If I'd known, there's no way I would've played along. Not after what he did to me. 
   
   
   
  To everyone else, Ian Brock is a Hollywood star. The life of the party. The guy next door with a smile to melt ice cream. To me, he's the ex who broke my heart. 
   
   
   
  But the years have done nothing to ruin how good-looking, charming, or funny he is. And the more we pretend to be a couple, the more obvious it becomes that our chemistry is back. 
   
   
   
  Then there's the kiss we share for the rest of the world—it makes me ache for more. Add a bottle of champagne and one stolen slow dance, and we're spilling our secrets . . . and losing our hearts. 
   
   
   
  Ian insists it's all for show. A way to get his co-star off his back and save his career. But that kiss felt a little too real. And as old wounds start to heal, I can't help but envision a future with him—one I've wanted since I was eighteen. 
   
   
   
  Can we finally ride off into the sunset, or is it all too good to be true?
