Having loved the other books in this series, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this one. Waking up on Christmas morning to find the Mr had bought it for me made me incredibly happy and I instantly jumped into it. 
However, I found that this one just missed the mark for me. It wasn't as funny as the previous books, and while it was amusing in parts, I found myself a little disappointed. That's not to say it wasn't a good book, because it was. It just wasn't my favourite from the series.

 A LOL hilarious story, with stories within the story, of Ellen, the MC, coming to terms with an empty nest during Christmas. As she remembers Christmases past, she goes through the realization that each Christmas, though stressful, crazy, infuriating, was special and magical in their own way - even if it didn't match the VISION. So funny, thoroughly enjoyable, and heartwarming!
