This is one of the most wonderful, Christmas books I have read in awhile.  It is about the people in our lives we love, about chosen family, losing family, and reconnecting with family.  It was refreshing to read a novel about friendship and maintaining friendship while growing up and finding love.  What happens when your best friend gets a job across the country? How do you keep up traditions, and adopt new ones?  

This book felt so much like real life, I had so much empathy with the characters.  Their worries, dreams, passions were so palpable and relatable.  And like life, all of the conflicts, the concerns are resolved when everyone communicates.  

If you are looking for a Christmas-y story that's not a romance, but still fairly light, I highly recommend The Christmas Orphans Club.
