"Harold’s Heavenly Christmas" Brings Joy and Laughter at a Much-Needed Time

Orlando, FL, October 21, 2021 --(PR.com)-- The world is certainly different than it was over the last two years. People are hurting and looking for something positive. People turn on their TVs and open their newspapers to gloom and doom about COVID and politics. Is it possible to find some clean water in a cloudy pond? Yes, it is. Christmas usually brings happiness with songs on the radio, Hallmark Christmas movies, lights on houses in the neighborhood, and the Christmas decorations in the mall.

Chris Whaley believes, "If you liked the It’s a Wonderful Life movie, you’re going to love Harold’s Heavenly Christmas book. Harold is the new Clarence. He helps a young man named Bret and an older man named Arnold. The ending will surprise you and bring a lot of much needed joy in your life!" themaskedsaint.com
