DNF at 160-170.Lord this was just annoying. How fucking sheltered is this girl. Not knowing her family is the only one doing Christmas 24/7/365???Is she 9 or 4?? It just got too cringy. Sad, because I was looking forward to it so much.

A wonderfully joyous and festive tale that's perfect for the season. I read it in a day because I loved it so much!
The Carrrolls are a family who are completely invested in Christmas all year round and when a house comes up for sale on the third most christmassy Street in the world they jump at the chance to move and spread cheer in the community, but Holly has always been home schooled and is about to find out that not everybody celebrates Christmas like her family do.
Wonderfully illustrated and a great story filled with love, hope and friendship. I think this will be a book I read every Christmas

Pure magic. If you love the movie Elf this is a must read!
