I love all 12 of these stories! I bet you will too if you like crisp language, carefully crafted plots, characters that you'd like to breathe life into so that you could take them out to dinner or visit with them in real time, Christmas and, happy endings. I promise not to spoil things for you but, here are a few of my favorite things: after reading "Time to Get Your Jingle On," you'll want to get your own silver bell, the bath tub scene in "Pearls For Christmas," is hilarious, half-way through "One Cool Cat," you'll be silently cheering for Dennis as he struggles to save his marriage and plots to convince the most skeptical of his children that Santa will always find her. And, speaking of Santa, after you've read "Polishing the Candy Apples," you may have to re-think your own visions of that "jolly old elf."I read this book in snatches of time, between wrapping Christmas presents and all of the last minute things that I needed to do to get ready for the holidays in my own home. And, I even found myself sneaking upstairs to get away from some of the bustle and mayhem to chuckle over just one more story. This book gets my own 5 star review of: hand-clap, hand-clap. Standing Ovation!
