"Once Upon a Christmas Carol" is my 2nd holiday visit to Welcome, USA, my 1st visit occured with the reading of "One Snowy Night Before Christmas", and I can't wait to go back.  This story is a heartwarming, imaginative and modern interpertation/retelling of my beloved Dickens' classic 'A Christmas Carol'. However, this time more than one person has a lesson to learn.  Welcome, USA is a place that really knows how to celebrate Christmas and where the "Magic" of the Holiday is literal rather than figurative.The plot is solid, the characters are likable and relatable and there is good character development.  There are a couple of love scenes but nothing too graphic.  However, I think that the story is better suited for young adults and older readers.  The summary to this book gives a very accurate snap shot of the plot so I won't elobrate further.  I loath reviews that basically retell the entire story.  I liked both Celia and Trey. Their history and their romance is sure to resonate with many readers.  This charming holiday romance is sure to leave you feeling warm and fuzzy.  So, Buy it, Read it & Enjoy!To Pamela, Please take us back to Welcome, USA again soon or at the very least again this time next year.  Here's wishing you continued success and inspiration!
