Cute, cute, cute !!! Oh, what a CUTE little book. Call me pleasantly pleased as punch for this festive little guy.

This is one of the best cases of “what you see is what you get” - do you want to watch a plucky forty something help his grumpy contractor neighbor conduct emergency holiday preparations for a surprise visit from inconsiderate cis het family? here you go!

My only minor gripe is that the book has this… affluent HOA vibe to it that’s a bit of a turn-off from me, but that’s entirely personal. This was a great little Christmas read.
