Christmas is the most magical season of the year. Noel loves everything about it. From the decorating, to the music, and the baking. While visiting her parents in their farmhouse nestled in the Maine woods in preparation for the holiday, she finds herself alone when the power goes out. But when she finds a stranger and his little boy stranded next to the road, she follows her intuition and offers … and offers them shelter until they can figure out how to restore the power.
All Ian wanted to do was take his son to see Santa. Now he’s stuck with a Christmas enthusiast in a farmhouse decorated with smiling faces on family pictures. But as Ian spends more and more time with Noel, he’s reminded of what the true spirit of Christmas is all about.
Family, joy, kindness…and love.

A sweet read that had me laughing out loud.
Is it worthy of being reread? For real! (read the story and you’ll understand).
This is such a sweet Christmas story, it truly reminds me of a Hallmark Christmas movie. When Ian & his young son Gabe are stranded at Noel’s due to a snowstorm he was prepared to stay in his car. When Noel offers them a place to stay, even though the house lost power he was surprised by her generosity. Noel loves Christmas and bonds with Ian’s young son Gabe right away. Ian is used to people not treating him well so he was taken aback by how welcoming Noel was to both him & his son. Noel also relied on Ian’s help to run the generator for the house. I loved how Noel showed Ian & Gabe the Christmas spirit.
