ABOUT THE BOOK

Christmas trees, twinkling lights, skating in the park, and holiday displays are the hallmark elements for celebrating Jesus birth for the sentimental residents of Nativity, Missouri. Will fiscal responsibility replace Christmas their traditions when times are tough? Though their priorities and methods clash, Roni Elliot and Jake Brisco want the same thing, for the town to prosper. As the two get to know each other better, each begins to gain a new perspective on what the real wealth of Nativity and the season might be.

MY THOUGHTS:
This is another great Christmas novella. Times are hard in Nativity, Missouri. But does that mean all their lovely Christmas traditions have to go? Is Jake really the miserly Scrooge he appears to be? Will Roni get her traditional Christmas? You'll laugh when you realize which Christmas lamp Roni actually longs to put in her front window!
