Synopsis
Two lifelong friends decide to trade places the week before Christmas and end up finding love along the way in this delightful novel from the queen of holiday stories, #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber. Peter Armstrong and Hank Colfax are best friends, but their lives couldn't be more different. Peter, the local pastor who is dedicated to his community, spending time visiting the flock, attending meetings, and, with the holiday season approaching, preparing for the Christmas service and live nativity. As a bartender, Hank serves a much different customer base at his family-owned tavern, including a handful of lonely regulars and the local biker gang. When Peter scoffs that Hank has it easy compared to him, the two decide to switch jobs until Christmas Eve. To their surprise, the responsibilities of a bartender and a pastor are similar, but taking on the other's work is more difficult than either Peter or Hank expected. As the two begin to see each other in a new light--and each discovers a new love to cherish--their lives are forever changed. In The Christmas Spirit, Debbie Macomber celebrates the true meaning of the holidays and the inclusive community spirit that binds us all.
My Review
This was a nice story. I enjoyed reading it. It had a great sense of community spirit. It was well wrote with some nice realistic characters. It was a good read as all the kids prepare for their church nativity. It had a unique start to the story line. It was a nice enough story I just didn't warm to it and couldn't put my finger on why I didn't connect with the story as much as I would of liked to , to get the higher ratings. Remember that I am one person my average rating could be your 5 star read. So always try a sample to see if it is for you.
Many thanks to the author and publishers for creating this nice story with a great sense of community spirit.
