I didn‘t track this year, so I‘m limiting it to one December read. I liked the frothiness of the book.

I enjoyed these two stories. I like Trading Christmas more than The Forgetful Bride as I connected more with the characters. 4 stars. 8,690 Word Search.

I‘m about 20% into this book and loving it. It has all the feels of a Christmas Hallmark, which it became.

This is a cute, though predictable, holiday romance. George in a professor at Harvard and the poster child for curmudgeons. Emily is a widowed mother in Leavenworth WA. George wants to escape his mother and Christmas for the holidays. Emily wants to visit her daughter in Boston. Through the power of the Internet they swap houses. Things don't work the way either one plans. 3.5ish ⭐

Definitely an upgrade from the Richard Paul Evans Christmas stories - cute little story where everything starts out wrong and winds up happily ever after.

Fun and fizzy. I would have appreciated a little more relationship building between the main characters, but overall this was a lighthearted read that I enjoyed.

⭐⭐⭐1/2 stars to these stories. I liked Trading Christmas, but I actually enjoyed The Forgetful Bride more! Super cheesy and cute Christmas romances.

A short, easy, cheery Christmas read. It's predictable, but it was still enjoyable. I hadn't read any Debbie Macomber in quite a while, and I'd forgotten how well she does these gentle, feel-good novels.

When you have grown, married children, your holiday traditions change. We had "first Christmas " today with @Ambrosnazzy and her family. Instead of dinner, we did a brunch: black beans and eggs. It was pretty good, and I adapted a Weight Watcher recipe, so I don't feel like I did a huge amount of damage, except for the peanut butter-chocolate chip cookie bars? They've gone home, so back to my Christmas read?
