A friend loaned me this book just before the holidays and I absolutely loved it. I actually sent a few copies to friends because it was just "laugh out loud" funny. I highy recommend it if you want something silly and lighthearted to read.

I loved this book. Great, strong characters. I laughed out loud. If you grew up in a family that celebrates holidays this is a must read. You'll want to share it with all your relatives and friends. Skipping Christmas is something you don't want to miss! Enjoy!

I love to read, this was one of the funniest books I have read all year. I thought John Grisham really made the point that we don't need fancy lights and decorations to have a wonderful Christmas, all we need is our family.

I thought this book was fabulous because it shows that sometimes it's best to not change and to do the same things every year............but I loved this book so read it.
