luffy79's review against another edition
4.0
This book comprised two stories rolled into one; Christmas Letters and Rainy Day Kisses. The latter was most predictable, and was in fact enormously clichéed. So I myself was surprised when I found myself enjoying Rainy Day Kisses most.
Christmas Letters proved to have a weak Romeo. I tried to picture him in my mind, but he came across as a gangly type of man trapped in a teenager's body. He didn't have enough chemistry with his girlfriend and future wife Katherine O'Hare.
Rainy Day Kisses was more vibrant. It simply oozed old time romances, with nary a text or cellphone around. I liked this couple better. They could have existed, although they wouldn't have such an unlikely rollercoaster beginning from the get go. Still Debbie Macomber, I grudgingly admit, is a good writer, as far as romance is involved.

Both stories in Christmas Wishes were cutesy and predictable, but were fun, light reads nonetheless! I’ve never read a book with 2 completely different story’s like this before - maybe that used to be a thing?

I've had this book on my shelf because one of the stories, Christmas Letters, was part of the Blossom Street Series by Debbie Macomber. I've read it before but it had been so long I couldn't remember it and I am rereading the series starting from the beginning. I thought Christmas Letters was the better story of the two in this book and enjoyed the humor in it. The other story, Rainy Day Kisses was okay but I am not big on romance stories.
