Butting right up against being super-cheesy, this book combines elements from your favorite classic Christmas stories into one story of renewed hope. The two main characters are both broken people; one who has allowed his past to write his future, the other who has overcome her past, but still bears its scars. Primarily, the book is A Christmas Carol, and we all know it has a happy ending (because it is, after all, a story), but how Scrooge gets from the beginning to the end is a little bit different. One of my favorite scenes was pulled directly from the Whos of Whoville...in the Grinch. It's a feel-good story that won't make you think too much.

This was a sweet Christmas story about a town that lives for Christmas and even has a Company, The Christmas Company, that employs the citizens of the town, just to promote Christmas! I enjoyed the book.
