Funny, yet predictable, Christmas story of a family that has been missing Christmas since their beloved mother died that day a few years earlier. Will and Ella are at their wit's end, because their father, Henry, seems lost without their mom. They enroll him on a dating site, to which Ms. Truelove replies. Henry catches them, and tells Ms. Truelove it was a mistake. But, then, gifts begin arriving to the Sullivan house. It becomes a complete disaster, with Ella, Will, and Henry trying to cope.
But, in the end, you will find out why - and who is sending them these gifts. Which to me was quite obvious, but it was still an enjoyable and sweet story.

This was super silly. But, it was a cute book for Christmas. And it did have a nice storyline in the background behind all the craziness. I listened to the audiobook.

Glad I didn't buy this booked and borrowed it from the library

It's a weird story and it just feels like James Patterson is using his name to sale books

Cute enough but just a generic "Hallmark book of the season". Always disappointed when Patterson slaps his name on a book that he obviously did not write.
