    That summermore than ten years ago, while they were still in high schoolNoelle McDowell and Thomas Sutton fell secretly in love. Secretly because their mothers had been locked in a bitter feud for decades. But despite the animosity between Sarah McDowell and Mary Sutton, Noelle planned to elope with Thom. Until he jilted her. 

    This Christmas Noelle McDowell is home to celebrate the holidays with her family. (After all, December 25 is also her birthday.) Unfortunately, Noelle's feelings about homeor rather, her hometown of Rose, Oregon—were changed forever the day Thomas Sutton broke her heart.  

    This Christmas the feuding mothers find themselves working together to fill Christmas baskets for charity. What irony! And what an opportunity for reconciliationif only they could see it.  

    This Christmas Noelle and Thom discover they're still in love. Regardless of their mothers' reactions, they want to be together. Is that possible? Can old rivalries be set aside? Will Sarah's Christmas daughter have a second chance with Mary's charming son?

    • 5/5
      I really enjoyed this clean, romantic, Christmas type story all centered around Christmas baskets being donated to the poor. It was funny, it was sad, it had a lot of feels in it. I voluntarily chose to review this story and I've given it a 5* rating. I'm now on to "Let it Snow" also by Debbie Macomber
    • 4/5
      This delightful Christmas tale is a lesson in forgiveness and hope. Two best friends have a falling out when one won’t forgive the other for a lapse in judgment and a deception. The husbands, being golf buddies, remain in a secret friendship, and their kids plan to elope. Alas, a miscommunication results in a severing of that romance. But now, it’s ten years later, and it’s Christmas- the season for miracles. This story will give you a warm fuzzy feeling, with its likable characters and Christmas setting. But the way things work out may surprise you a bit!

      More than 10 years ago, while still in high school, Noelle McDowell and Thom Sutton fell in love. They kept it a secret though, because their mothers had been in a bitter feud with each other for several years. When they were both 18, Noelle planned to elope with Thom, but then he jilted her.This Christmas, after avoiding her hometown for a decade because of painful memories, Noelle is home to celebrate the holidays with her family. She can't avoid running into Thom though, and they discover they are still in love, and regardless of the animosity between their mothers, they want to be together.Both mothers find themselves working together to fill Christmas baskets for charity, which would be a perfect opportunity for reconciliation, if only they could see that!This was a quick, "feel good" read, perfect for this time of year; a good book that offers an escape from the stress of the holidays. It's not just a romance, it's also a story about friendship. The behavior of the mothers towards each other with their rivalries seemed a bit over the top at times, but that also added some humor to the story, which made it lighthearted and fun.

We also find Mary Sutton and Sarah MacDowell who had been best friends for over twenty years were not now because of .a 'Silver tea set' had been stolen. See, this tea set had been stolen and Mary had never forgiven her friend for losing it. So, you may say that this was a spat between the two families...the MacDowell's and the Sutton.
