My Review: I thought this was a cute heartwarming Christmas story. Some of the story was predictable, as would be expected from a Christmas story, however there were a few unexpected plot-lines as well. The main character was very likable, and despite some challenges in her personal life she manages to stay upbeat and positive. I really appreciated the new tradition created as she became "Mrs Claus". It was a fun twist on a regular custom. Overall I enjoyed reading this book.
