Hi Everyone! Happy New Year! I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! We certainly did! It snowed here, and we got up to a white Christmas morning! That was a wonderful surprise in the south. It is not often we get this treat.
I like to read "holiday" books around that holiday. I read a lot of fiction, and so I like to have a Christmas story to read during the Christmas holidays, etc. This year, the book I chose was "Two Tickets to the Christmas Ball" by Donita K. Paul. I started this book Christmas afternoon, and finished it within 24 hours. It was a great read, and a nice surprise. The characters in the book are Christians, which I was not expecting. The main characters are Cora Crowder and Simon Derrick. Cora Crowder avoids contact with her disfunctional family since becoming a Christian. She is looking forward to a quiet Christmas alone with her cat. Simon has a lot of responsibility for his family (sister, mother, aunt, and grandfather - a multi-generational family) and wonders if he will ever find a wife who will fit in the family he has at home. This story is about the match making that brings Cora and Simon together, by way of free tickets to a Christmas Ball. This story is very refreshing and I believe anyone who reads it will enjoy.
