Book Description
In this heartwarming, feel-good holiday novel, one woman needs to find a little inspiration in the 25 days leading up to Christmas to help her remember the magic of the season and the magic of falling in love—perfect for fans of Jenny Colgan and Josie Silver. Kate Potter used to love Christmas. A few years ago, she would have been wrapping her presents in September and baking mince pies on Halloween, counting down the days and hours to Christmas. But that was before Kate’s husband left for the army and never came home. Now she can hardly stand December at all. Kate can’t deny she’s lonely, yet she doesn’t think she’s ready for romance. She knows that her son, Jack, needs a Christmas to remember—just like Kate needs a miracle to help her finally move forward with her life. So she’s decided if there isn’t a miracle on its way, she’ll just have to make her own. As Kate’s advent countdown to the best Christmas ever begins, she soon realizes that even with the best laid plans, you can’t plan for the unexpected. For when the path of the loneliest woman in town crosses with that of the loneliest man, these two destined hearts might find a way to save the holiday for both of them.

Book Description
Why is it that everywhere I venture a glimpse nowadays I end up observing hyperactive hustle and uptight bustle amidst frenzied scurry and harried hurry? Let us all take an alternate approach during this Yuletide season. I am choosing to "Lead By Example". I have decided upon shepherding my kids "by action rather than by mere words". I am choosing to shift the negative influence of society's external holiday tension AWAY FROM my three cherished children. In its place I aim to veer our family unit's center of attention upon the true meaning of Christmas. It costs the least and it spreads good cheer. It's the Spirit of Christmas and it lasts throughout the year. Care to join me?
