What did I think of this book:

I thought this was a nice book that will help to get you in the mood for the holidays, but at the same time is fitting to be read at any time of the year. It is not just about holidays but so much more. I felt so bad for Charlie when she looses her job right before the holidays, what can be more devestating. Instead of watching her mope about her grandmother has other plans to get her out of the funk. So Charlie starts working on the Christmas play for the local school. While working on the play Charlie works through many emotions. I like how the author began each chapter with a part of Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol. This book was a modern telling of the story. If you like A Christmas Carol then you will enjoy this book. Also this is a very short book that can be read in one day or a weekend. A touching story.
