I really enjoyed this Christmas story of a woman who does too much and tries to make everything perfect for her family. Marianne is facing an empty nest and comes to her son’s football team rescue as mascot (a trout) and volunteers to chair her church hospitality tea. She’s running around and forgets to decline her church chair position and the small Minnesota town is not up for the changes she is suggesting! In the end of this enjoyable tale, all works out and a new tradition is established. Faith based book that gets Marianne through the holidays. A Delightful Holiday Read!I can’t begin to tell you how much fun I had reading this book. I laughed out loud so many times in this story because of the descriptive scenes this author portrayed. I even climbed into bed one night and laughingly set the stage and told my husband about certain scenes. I can’t describe them in this review because I don’t want to spoil anything for future readers.Not only was there humor in this book, there were moments that drove home to the reader the importance of family, church family, community, and the willingness to put aside the old saying, it has always been done this way and work together. The best part was God and faith.The ending of this book was wonderful! I was in tears. The message hit home and left me feeling great!Thank you author Susan May Warren for making my day!
A great christmas story of a mom's willingness to do whatever it takes to make christmas great.

It was funny. If you are a mother you would relate to what she goes through.
