Twelve Days of Christmas/Debbie Macomber/253 pgs.

This year's Christmas offering from Debbie Macomber is a step up from last year's Dashing Through the Snow. Julia Padden works at Macy's but is in the running for her dream job in a marketing firm--she and her competition have to come up with a blog. The blog with the most hits will determine who gets the job. Julia is at odds with her across the hall neighbor, Cain Maddox. Julia tries to make friendly overtures to Cain, but he remains indifferent, and at times, rude. Her best friend suggests that Julia should kill Cain with kindness, and blog about the results. So, Julia's blog, "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is created, and the story takes off from there! It's a fast, feel good read--just right for the upcoming holidays! Recommended.
