Title: a pleasant christmas story
Review: Let me begin by saying that I grew tired of John Grisham's legal thrillers some time ago so I approached this book with skepticism. I was delightfully surprised by this book - with the most pleasing blend of comedy, drama, and yes - even real emotion. The book is a short read and one that I will reread every year.The story focuses on a married couple whose daughter has left them on their own for Christmas. Vowing to buck the tradition and ignore the holiday the couple face the hostilities of those around them who see participating in Christmas as a civic responsibility. Several twists bring the story to a place where the heart is warmed, the belly can revel in a hearty guffaw, and where the meaning of Christmas, for this family, is (re) discovered.This is not great literature nor Dickens, but it is a light-hearted Christmas story well worth your time.
