I adore reading Christmas books! I think I may have mentioned that a few times this year. I love the time of year and reading books specifically centered around winter and Christmas just makes everything more special. This collection of Christmas novellas is a great way to boost the Christmas spirit. Full of faith, romance, and all things Christmas.
From Wyoming to Washington, you will be swept off your feet as these couples conquer the odds and true love prevails.
Snuggle up in your favorite reading spot with a blanket and mug of your favorite steaming beverage (if you have a fireplace, even better), and get lost in the mountains of the west.
I received a copy of Mountain Christmas Brides from Carrie Turansky as a gift. I was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

Brilliant
I appear to be having a bit of a run on Joe Dante films at the moment, but it would be rude not to watch Gremlins over Christmas.
This film is so much fun from start to finish. It's everything you'd want and more from a Christmas horror film - laughs, some festive christmas spirit and a whole host of gremlin gore and wacky deaths. Considering this was made in 1984 the special effects with the Gremlins are surprisingly impressive and very inventive. The scenarios that they get themselves into are hilarious. Admittedly considering it's now 35 years old there are parts that look a little dated, but overall this is such a brilliant and entertaining film and definitely a classic at Christmas.

Lindsay (1735 KP) rated Ava and Aaron's Christmas Story in Rhyme (Mariana Books Rhyming #5) in Books
Dec 24, 2021
Ava and Aaron's Christmas Story is beautiful. It is about them and getting a special gift for Christmas. Will they get that special gift? Will they get to spend time with their family? There is rhyming, and children will also learn to read and rhyme.
Children will learn that love and family are more important than presents. I enjoyed the meaning and the fun things they do together. It is all shown throughout the pictures. What fun it is to do something with your mom and dad.
The pictures are down well—the words blended into the images in some cases. I enjoyed the story and was reading the book in one sitting. It tells the story of Christmas and all its meaning. Family and some winter fun that comes along with the holiday season.
Are your children or child waiting for it to snow? Do they enjoy playing in the snow? This story is no different for these two lovely children in the story. Will Ava get her to wish of snow or will not? What are some of your family's Christmas traditions? What surprises are your child or children waiting for to get the shock of someone special or a loved one? Sometimes the wonder is lovely and enjoyable, and seeing someone after it has been a while. Bringing the family together is what it is all about. Is it not for Christmas?

This movie has grown on me. It's a huge hit with my now eight-year-old twins, too. Sure, it's silly, but that's what (most) Christmas movies are for. Kurt Russell lives it up as Santa Claus. There's schmaltz, but also some real heart, in the plot, which revolves around two kids who recently lost their father. Add in some great special effects, some wonderful elves (the cat elves, as my kids call them), and some hi-jinks: you've got yourself a sweet and funny Christmas movie.

Mediocre as Hallmark Christmas movies go. No real chemistry between the main couple nor urgency to the plot. I did enjoy the fact that there was just one couple (estranged) so no side villains to keep an eye on. It was definitely going for a Chip & Joanna "Fixer Upper" vibe with their main cast, who started their own company. Held my attention while working, but wasn't anything special.
