Sweet holiday story with allusions to Miracle on 34th Street. Predictable but fun nonetheless.

I suppose the end justified the means in regards to this story. But, I think it could have been done better. There were so many little things that irritated me about this book, that I couldn't really get into it as much as I would have liked.

That being said...it is a quick read, and an enjoyable ending.

This was a good quick Christmas book to read. Holly is taking care of Gabe while his father is in Afghanistan. All Gabe wants for Christmas is a robot. Mrs. Miracle is working at the store that is the only one left in New York to still have them. Of course, there is also a single man, Jake who is the owner's son, who in charge of the toy department.

It was a nice, Christmasy book. A bit too predictable and jolly...

schmaltzy, wholesome, i had tears at the end.

I may be one of the last people on the planet to have not heard of the author Debbie Macomber before reading this book. She’s written a lot of bestseller books and I can see why. While this isn’t usually the type of book I would read (I lean towards a lot of paranormal books), I thought I would give it a go as the storyline was appealing to me and I’m happy I did so.

The story is uplifting overall, even though there were a couple of scenes that had my eyes watering. The characters within the book are all written so well that they seem like people I know personally. All of the locations used within the story are described just enough that I can imagine them as places I’ve already been and already know as well. The writing style had me flying through the book, not wanting to put it down, and not realizing the time that went by as I was reading.

It’s a perfect holiday story, so perfect in fact that Hallmark is making a movie out of it. Apparently there was another book previous to this one called Mrs. Miracle that was also made into a movie. Call Me Mrs. Miracle is set to air on November 27, 2010 and I plan on watching it since I enjoyed the book so much. (I’m hoping that they will be replaying Mrs. Miracle as well as I am sure I will enjoy it as well.)

A delightful holiday story.

I think I might have seen this as a Hallmark movie many years ago, but the story is adorable. Full of Christmas miracles big and small, and the ending would melt even the grinch’s heart!

This was a super fun and sweet Christmas read. 🎄❤🎄

Delightful story! A very quick read with a great focus on relationships.
