Betty Kowalski isn't looking forward to the holidays. She just can't seem to find Christmas in her heart. There's church, of course. But who can she bake for these days? And who would care whether or not she pulled out the Christmas decorations? Her new neighbor just adds to the problem. He's doing home improvements that don't appear to be improving much of anything. These days when Betty looks out the window, she sees a beat-up truck, a pile of junk, lots of blue tarps, and--horror of horrors--an old pink toilet.But when a mangy dog appears at her doorstep, the stage is set for Betty to learn a very important lesson about what Christmas is all about. This contemporary Christmas story is a timely yet gentle reminder that God can work miracles through something as seemingly insignificant as a little brown dog.

This isn't really my cuppa. I do like the use of an older heroine though. It is edited as well. If you like Hallmark Christmas movies, you might like this. Love the cover, however.
excellent book. this is the 3rd book by this author I have read. I love how her stories flow.
On the saccharine side, but I guess that's pretty par for the course for Christmas books. I liked it well enough, even if I did occasionally want to shake Betty for her bad decisions and interesting assumptions.A quick read, but more of a feel-good story than an actual Christmas story.
Another cute and cozy Christmas tale by Carlson. Nothing surprising in this one, but the characters are lovable and the story is touching. Quick and easy read!
