The Festive Spirit

There’s Something About Christmas by Debbie Macomber is a delightful, fun-filled contemporary romance and just perfect to get you into the festive spirit.

The book surrounds a fruit cake competition which includes recipes that I am dying to try – you cannot beat a good fruit cake.

Christmas is a time of good will and memories. Sometimes our memories make us sad as our loved ones are no longer here and we feel like hiding away. We need to take a risk, be vulnerable and make new memories.

Fear holds us back. Sometimes in life, we just have to ‘do it afraid.’

I loved the inclusion of two little dogs. Dogs always warm hearts.

Debbie Macomber has perfectly captured the essence of Christmas in a book. It was a totally charming read.
