Review: Sweet but short

This is a nice little Christmas read - short, sappy, and squeaky clean.  I enjoyed it but would have liked more story development.  The plot line felt rushed.There were also a number of editorial issues that bothered me - missing quotation marks, names getting mixed up (most notably when the son becomes the nephew on Christmas morning), plus, as a Scout parent, the Eagle Court of Honor doesn't work if the child in question is 9 or 11 (since the niece and nephew were about the same ages as the kids).  Boys can't even join Boy Scouts until age 11 (or a variety of conjunctions, but generally pretty close to 11) and it takes a minimum of a year and a half (and usually considerably longer) to work through all of the ranks to earn Eagle.
