Marc-Antoine I am now 52 pages in and am really enjoying, I am thinking some things may be a little predictable coming up, but will need to keep reading to find out.


Marc-Antoine I'm all done...all I have to say is touching...did anyone have the bonus story "Waiting for Santa"?


Lindsey I'm close, really liking too, and yeah I have the bonus story, can't wait to chk it out :)


Marc-Antoine Let me know when you're done


Lindsey Hey! I'm very sorry it's taken me so long to get back on here, this is the first time in a long time that I haven't been able to get on here everyday, I apologize. Anyways, I really enjoyed this book, I'm kinda aggravated at all the reviews of people saying it was mushy and predictable, haha I thought that was the whole point to a christmas novel :) The only thing I didn't see coming was who the thief was, Im not sure how I feel about the very last chapter though, I dont wanna say too much in case others haven't finished, just the whole Max thing and what he did, I mean it was nice of course but for me that pushed it a little too far, haha oh well, and I actually really loved the bonus story "Waiting for Santa" so sweet and touching....


Marc-Antoine I cried like a baby as I was reading waiting for Santa. My wife thought I had lost my best friend.


Lindsey Yes Marc, The waiting for santa was super touching! I think I enjoyed it more than the actual novel haha

Yeah I feel the same Stacy, I would definitely enjoy watching this as a lifetime of hallmark movie


Marc-Antoine I preferred the short story as well. I did find the christmas train very predictable, and over the top. Nonetheless I did enjoy and it helped to get me into the Christmas on this so far very green holiday season, I like my Christmases white.


Lindsey Not sure yet, any suggestions?
