A Holiday (Holliday) Romance
In 2008, I wrote a song called Christmastime on the Beach. It was released under the Roy Holliday moniker that winter. This story is loosely based on that song. Kind of a “what if this song wasn’t limited to 3 and a half minutes of radio time?” Christmas TV movie-styled re-imagining thing, if you will…
Christmastime On The Beach is a short story that follows the heartfelt journey of Sage, a young woman who secretly yearns for romance amidst the hustle and bustle of her everyday life. To escape her unfulfilled desires and the winter blues, she takes a holiday vacation to a sun-kissed coastal town. Surrounded by the beach’s warmth and Christmas’s festive spirit, she finds herself immersed in unexpected adventures and charming encounters. As she navigates through new friendships and hidden passions, she discovers that the season’s magic might just bring her the love she’s been longing for. Will Sage’s holiday getaway turn into a romantic fairy tale, or will it remain a beautiful escape? Dive into this enchanting tale of love, self-discovery, and the wonders of Christmas by the sea.

Christmastime on the Beach – by Roy Holliday
“Christmastime on the Beach” is the sun‑bleached spark that lit the fuse for the 2024 novel of the same name. Long before the book took shape, this song existed as a postcard from another life—Roy Holliday’s warm, wistful anthem about holidays spent far from snow, wrapped instead in salt air, neon motel lights, and the kind of memories that never quite fade.
Produced and written by Jeff Elder, the track blends vintage holiday nostalgia with a coastal, late‑night shimmer. It’s equal parts romantic, melancholy, and defiantly hopeful—exactly the emotional DNA that would go on to shape the world of Christmastime on the Beach the book.
This is where the whole story began: one song, one mood, one impossible December on the edge of the ocean.
