The story was weird and it was hard to connect to the characters. Especially our MC Lindy. Let me tell you something folks, do not leave your dream job you just received a promotion from for a boy you have known for a week. Not in this economy. Not ever. Lindy needs to set her priorities straight. Asking questions while reading to your preschooler is a fun way to engage them in the story. You can ask questions that will help your child build comprehension skills as well as assess what they already know about a topic. Here are some questions for this book to get you going. I have never met a Debbie Macomber story that didn’t pull on my heart strings and DEAR SANTA did not disappoint. It is kind of predictable but I still loved every minute of it. It is a sweet story filled with family, emotions that will have you smiling and tearing up, second chances and no bad language or sex scenes. I look forward to Debbie Macomber’s holiday stories every year and as soon as I know they are coming I’m filled with excitement. Debbie has a way of pulling her readers right in and making them fall in love with all of her characters. I found myself cheering for Lindy and hoping she would be able to remember what Christmas is all about.

Debbie Macomber can write a sweet, lovely Christmas story like nobody else. She balances some tough issues, inside a sweet small town, with just a bit of Christmas magic that is perfect for the holiday season. I could feel the conflict that Lindy was going through and couldn’t wait for her to find her way to happiness. As usual, this Debbie Macomber Christmas story does not disappoint. She continues to rummage through the box, and discovers the other letters to Santa, including one saying that he ’should give Billy Kincade coal. He’s mean. He pulls my hair at school and chases me at recess.’ Lindy Carmichael has returned to her hometown of Wenatchee, Washington to spend time with her family for Christmas even though Lindy is not the most cheerful herself. Lindy had thought she had a wonderful relationship until she found out that her boyfriend had been cheating with her best friend. The love interest Billy was weird. He reminded me of the Man Bun guy from Brooklyn 99. (It appears his name is Constantine for the fellow B99 fans.) And it has nothing to do with his hair. He was rushing into everything and it weirded me out. He asked Lindy to move to their hometown so they could be together when they’ve been dating for A FEW DAYS. Like, excuse me? It was not cute. If someone I dated for literally 3 days asked me to move to a whole different city for them, I’d throw hands and dip. No joke. Dear Santa by Debbie Macomber is a sweet, holiday romance that is both heartwarming and delightful. This book could easily turn into a Hallmark movie as it’s everything you’d expect on the Hallmark Channel for a holiday movie. There are enough cute Christmassy events, but not too much to make it saccharine.

Having already read and enjoyed many stories from Debbie Macomber I was not surprised to find myself completely enjoying Dear Santa. This one was slightly a second chance romance with the characters having known each other in childhood and it was full of Christmassy fun. Everyone could use a little bit of hope in the holiday season and the author did a wonderful job bringing hope to life in the story. Great feel good read for the season. A special holiday wish list brings about hope, love, and second chances in this nostalgic novel from the queen of Christmas stories, #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber. When she’s finished reading all her old letters to Santa, her mother tells her that she thinks that Lindy needs to write another letter to Santa, that ’maybe a letter letting him know what you’d like most this Christmas is exactly what you need to do. And write it with the same trust you had as a child.’ She takes her advice, and as the days go by she struggles with leaving these people behind, but she is also completely dedicated to the job she’s worked so hard for the success she’s achieved there, and can’t imagine uprooting her life in Seattle.

I don’t even want to talk about the plot because for the life of me, I don’t know what this book was about? Leave everyone you know, your dream job, and your beautiful apartment behind just because you’re horny during the holiday season? Is that it?Lindy’s mother wanted to cheer up Lindy when she arrived so she shared Lindy’s old childhood letters to Santa with her. After reading the stories from when she was young Lindy can’t help but hope for a little Christmas magic to still exist and writes another letter wishing for a new best friend and boyfriend this Christmas.
