" 'In so many places the spirit of Christmas isn't what it used to be,' he opened. 'It's so about shopping days and sales. Artificial Christmas trees jamming the stores before the Halloween pumpkins have disappeared. My city friends two new they get short-tempered and sulky with the stress of the season  let's have ourselves a down-home weekend, with caroling in the town square, a new set of lights for the big tree, and lots of fun stuff to do all weekend. Well set the example that Christmas 'tis the season to be jolly and joyful.' "

"I have to count my blessings. Money isn't everything. We have our health. We're better if then 99.9 percent of the people in the world."

Dashing Through the Snow is a mystery about how a group of coworkers win a lottery ticket right around their town Christmas festival, but so does a swindling duo that stopped into town... And so chaos ensues.  It's about how coming into money can really mess things up and that family(& found family) is everything. I loved the themes and the excitement of it all. It was cute. And my first book I've read of either of the Higgins Clarks. It was a very quick, nice last Christmas read of the year for me.
