Great read, even if it's not at Christmas!

As always, this was a great book by Debbie Macomber. It's a Christmas story, but it's a good read any time of the year, not just at the holiday season. I've never read a book by this author that I haven't liked.


escape

I lover Debbie McComber's books. It's a fast read, but a nice little escape for an afternoon.

Do you need a little Christmas, right now?

As this book has two tales, they both need to be reviewed separately.

* Can this be Christmas?

This tale features an ensemble cast, a motley group of holiday travelers encounter one delay after another due to a huge snowstorm. Everyone had places to be, and people to see. All of the passengers are caught up in their own reasons for having to be where they have to be. The group gets stranded in a quaint train station. As people realize that they will not make their intended holiday destinations in time for the holidays, it brings out the essence of each person. Tempers flare. Eventually, they become resigned to spending the holiday together, and one contribution at a time, they build a great impromptu holiday situation.

* Shirley, Goodness and Mercy

This tale is like a cross between a modern "A Christmas Carol" and "It's a Wonderful Life". This is quite a bit lighter than either of those. If you like "Touched by an Angel" Or liked "Highway to Heaven", you will probably enjoy this tale. Greg Bennett has a cold empty life, and it's only getting worse. He is hitting bottom. He is reviewing all of the experiences in his life that have left him alone. Three angels are assigned to help him get his life together. With the guidance of these 3 mischievous angels he learns the magic of the holiday season, and transforms his whole life, just in time.

another winner by Macomber

***Can This Be Christmas -- A wonderful christmas story with all the trimmings. I enjoyed all of the characters (and there were many)and how they all went through a heart change. It showed how sometimes the littlest act of faith and kindness can have the hugest impacts in our lives. Debbie has a way of writing that draws you in so that you actually feel as though you are part of the story.

***Shirley, Goodness and Mercy -- This was a cute and entertaining read. I have always enjoyed reading debbie macomber and this one did not disappoint. It was a feel good story that had some humor as well as heartache entertwined. It is a good holiday read but can also be a spirit lifter at any time of the year

Can this be Christmas?

On December 24, a crowded train is taking holiday travelers home for Christmas. But because of a snowstorm, this group of strangers ends up spending Christmas Eve together, stranded in a small New Hampshire station. Despite the cold and discomfort, they create an impromptu celebration that reminds them all what Christmas really means. A story that's destined to become a Christmas classic!

Shirley, Goodness and Mercy

Greg Bennett hates Christmas. Divorced, virtually friendless and about to lose his business, he has no time fo what he considers sentimental nonsense. It takes three wacky angels to show him the truth. Shirley, Goodness and Mercy shall follow him . . . until he learns what Christmas is all about!

A return engagement by these popular angelic characters.

No one tells a Christmas story like Debbie Macomber!
