Every year at this time I keep my eyes open for Christmas stories. I know that they are going to be sugary and often romantic - not the kind of book I generally choose. But it is the season and it is good to read a warm fuzzy book.This story is about Judith and Stan Winters. For the first time since they had children Thanksgiving will be a quiet affair. It is just the two of them - no children or grandchildren. It is also the day that the tree goes up and the decorations come down from the attic. But this year Judith can't bring herself to do any of it. Stan has done everything he can to encourage her but her depression is too overwhelming because she also finds out that none of their three children are going to make it home for Christmas. This was the one part of the book that really bothered me. In all of these years why have the kids always come home - they never had to visit with the in-laws?
This is a story of a husband who will do anything to bring back some Christmas cheer to his wife. It is a short book and just right for providing a feel-good couple of hours during these days when the days are short and the political news can drive you crazy!
