Francie was born in a stable. Really. Granted, it was the deluxe model with the light-up star on the roof, one of the many Christmas items for sale at her family’s Hollydale Holiday Shop. Their holiday gift empire also includes the Santa School, which was founded by Francie’s beloved grandpa, who recently passed away.
Francie’s always loved working in the shop, but lately Aunt Carole has been changing everything with her ideas for too-slick, Hollywood-inspired Santas and horrible holiday-themed employee uniforms. Aunt Carole’s vision will ruin all the charm and nostalgia Francie loves about her family’s business…unless she does something about it.
But this winter is about more than preserving the magic of Christmas. Francie is saving up for a car and angling to kiss the cute boy who works at the tree lot next door—hopefully it will be good enough to wipe her fiasco of a first kiss from her memory.
As the weather outside gets more and more frightful, can Francie pull off the holiday of her dreams?

“Children believe in Santa because they know Santa believes in them”. This cover promised me everything, EVERYTHING! And it gave nothing… But like, literally, this was the most random piece of literature I read all year. It says it’s a ya romance but actually is a middle grade slice of life at christmas time? It doesn’t explore any of the characters feelings and it just jumps from plot point to plot point. I only recommend this if you don’t want romance and would like to know how to be a good Santa Claus, which is a very important and interesting topic in all honesty. But yeah, very sad that I won’t be presenting me with this cute cover this christmas :(
