Sweet Christmas entertainment

From the back cover: What's inside the Christmas Store? It's not what you'd expect. For everyone who enters the glittering, grand emporium will encounter much more than they came looking for. Narrated by the handsome, mysterious employee, Mr. Thomas Cavanaugh, you'll discover all the intensity of human drama and the wonder of the season... *A pair of twins make an incredible discovery among the shake-and-snow paperweights *A shopper spritz of free cologne leads to something money can't buy *A young woman finds love across the countertop *A shipping clerk stumbles upon two special visitors--and perhaps a miracle Charming, memorable and magical, The Christmas Store is aglow with the spirit that makes the holiday so special, and is sure to be read and reread for many Christmases to come. And my review: I took a chance on this collection of short stories that I found at a thrift store and was pleasantly surprised. They were sweet, clean, touching stories that celebrate the season. (One of them, "The Twelve Shopping Days of Christmas" was absolutely hilarious!) You could use this as a bedtime story book with your children, if you wanted to, as it's family-friendly. And the twist at the end just made it all the more interesting. If you like shows like "Touched By An Angel", then you'll probably like this book.
