bookshelves: children-s, christmas, hoopla

Continuing to read some, "Christmas in July" books with my reading buddy Darla πŸŽ„πŸŽβ˜€οΈπŸ–οΈ

After reading the original story earlier we decided to read this newly adapted 2020 story by David Warner.

The little boy is now a grown man and thinks of his father often and that one special Christmas many long years ago. This Christmas he decides he'd like to show his wife how much she means to him. He's thought up a sweet Christmas surprise for her. It's charming. It follows the same idea as the first book. Giving from the heart β™₯️ The story also contains a beautiful Christmas hymn. It's hard to top the original. I needed a little more from this one.

Please check out Darla's wonderful review as well.

Heidi Christmas in July sounds fun (and coolβ€” this summer is sweltering!). This sounds like a lovely story… so glad you enjoyed it!! 😎


Darla Terrific review, Tina. You did such a good job of explaining why this book did not quite get all the stars. Can't wait to see what we read next!😎
