I remember enjoying this book a lot more last year when I read the ARC but this time around something felt like it was missing. I just didn't enjoy it as much this time around.

I loved this. I think it was a really well-done take on how Christmas started. I loved the message in the book, and the stories woven around it. This is one I would recommend to all parents, or people with young kids in their lives, as a good Christmas book. It will be one I keep and read to any potential children I might have in the future. 

It was heartwarming and filled with adventure and fun. One I'm really glad I got to read.

This was a cute and lighthearted Christmas read that made me chuckle. Would love to have some tinsel and mince pie picnic.
