Merri's Christmas Mission by Chautona Havig -- Review

About the Book

Merri doesn’t want much from life–a job, healthy kids, a modest apartment, cheap fun… And a LAVISH Christmas. No, really. While other people save for vacations and cars, Merri saves every spare dime for her annual Christmas Extravaganza! But when she loses her job three months before Christmas, survival means dipping deeper and deeper into the Christmas fund! What’s a Yuletide fanatic to do? All Barney wanted was to win a pool table for The Mission, but watching a single mom’s dogged determination to win a great Christmas gift for her kids makes it hard to keep his eye on the needs of the mission instead of the shifting hopes of his heart.
