My Review
I loved this anthology of Christmas stories.
The first story was of a widow and a widower and their relationship. She is finally having her traditional house party after five years, Deborah's warmth and caring as a hostess is evident. Add a sprinkle of mischief from her mother as she tries to navigate feelings for another man after her husband's death. This sweet story was warm and inviting, everything a Christmas Story should be. Bring on the Hallmark movie.
The second story in this anthology was a follow up from a story found in a Hopeful Christmas which was published last year. In it we find a little more in the mystery of why the two families are feuding. This story brought a couple together and the families as they find common ground. It teaches us that sometimes silence is the most damaging.
The third story brought to mind A Christmas Carol in subtle yet noticeable ways. It took me a little bit before I caught all the parallels, but one I saw them they were every where. In spite of this, I found the story fresh and wanted more.
These three romances were a perfect anthology. I may have to curl up with a blanket, a hot cocoa, and read it again to greet the holidays.
