I honestly have to say I've listened to this podcast six times in the past year! I'm a Christmas freak and this podcast *certianly* does not disappoint. I could see making it a holiday tradition.By: MudMouse
What a wonderful book. Thank you. It put a new spin on a over done story. I'm looking forward to anything else the author may write.By: Paul
I live with a Christmas Junkie wife, so this book hit close to home! I loved it - every twist and turn, every witty reference to current Christmas icons (without mentioning them by name - what a great technique!), the fast-paced writing... This is an author who deserves a lot of credit for taking a potentially "ho hum" topic that's been done to death (please - no more versions of Dickens! Alastair Sim and the Muppets cover the spectrum nicely) and turning it into a terrific book. I hope Petit continues to write with as much skill for many years to come!
