Review of When Christmas Comes by Debbie Macomber

 


Enjoy this classic Christmas romantic comedy that inspired the Hallmark Channel original movie Trading Christmas. Only from New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.

Through a website, Charles Brewster, history professor avowed grinch, arranges to swap houses for the holiday with Emily Springer, widowed mother of one. So Emily goes to Boston—but finds that her daughter has gone to Florida. And Charles arrives in Leavenworth to discover that it’s not the quiet prison town he thought it was—it’s a Santa’s village in Washington! The place is full of Christmas trees, Christmas music and…elves.

Meanwhile, Emily’s friend Faith Kerrigan travels to Leavenworth to visit her and instead finds Charles. Then Charles’s brother, Ray, shows up at his home in Boston to discover that he isn’t there—but Emily is.

Through all the mix-ups and misunderstandings, amid the chaos and confusion, romance begins to emerge in unexpected ways. Because everything changes at Christmas!

**My thoughts**
Oh, it's one of the super predictable Christmas books, but I don't care. I loved it! When Emily and Charles decide to escape their mutually miserable Christmas seasons, they have no idea what's in store. They're going to find friendship and love and mend some family fences. And there are plenty of quirky mishaps along the way that had me literally laughing out loud. 

Hallmark has made this into a movie called Trading Christmas. Though I haven't seen this movie, I knew right away while reading this that it was perfect for adapting.
