Not so much a Christmas story to me as a story of a woman empowering herself.  As the matriarch of her family, Christmas is always at her house and completely her responsibility.  This year, she rebels, points at a spot on the map, and goes on a Christmas week vacation.She treats herself to some new clothes, meets a gentleman her own age, whose family is in Hawaii.  They spend time together, getting to know each other, and having the fun of dating after decades of just family stuff.I really liked this story, but I remove one star because it's so short.  However, it says everything that it needs to say, it's well-written, and the story is a lovely one.
