One of my favorites
This is definitely one of my favorites by Donna VanLiere. I love Gloria and Mariam, and their preparations for the Nativity scene were touching and hilarious. The other characters were memorable, and it was altogether just a great book.

Christmas author at her best
Donna’s Christmas series always warm my heart, renew my faith in humanity, and fill me with Christmas spirit. I absolutely love Donna’s reading voice and how perfect she is with children’s voices, men and women voices, love the squabbles with Gloria and Miriam, the happy endings that only happen when Donna’s characters go through the hard times. Highly recommend all her books.
