As you
have probably already guessed, I absolutely love the Christmas season! However,
sometimes there is nothing I look forward to more than sitting in front of my
fireplace, looking to the right to admire the twinkle lights and the beautiful
ornaments on the Christmas tree, sipping on some hot chocolate or boiled
custard.
Between
the crowds and long line at the mall, going from grocery store to grocery store
in the attempt to gather all the needed ingredients for Christmas dinner, and
of course fighting for a parking spot no matter where you go, sometimes it is
nice to be able to sit back and relax. My top three favorite leisure activates
this time of year is baking Christmas cookies, watching Christmas movies, and
keeping with the theme reading Christmas books. I just finished up Winter Stroll by Elin Hilderbrand, and it is
a festive and entertaining book perfect for this time of year. Unbeknown to me
Winter Stroll is actually book two in a book series of three….this was one of
those time I judged the book by its cover and didn’t read the description.
Luckily this was a book I could dive into and did not feel lost at all.
Christmas Stroll is actually the sequel to Winter Street. In Christmas Stroll the Quinn
family celebrates a very dramatic Christmas where love, loss, and an element of
not knowing are all intricate parts of the story line. Christmas on Nantucket
finds Kelly Quinn, the owner of Winter Street Inn, and his family busily
preparing for the holiday season. Although a dramatic and tragic year the
Quinns still have much to celebrate. Kelly has reconnected with his first wife,
Margaret, their son, Kevin and his fiancé, Isabelle, have a new baby who will
soon be baptized, and Kelly’s daughter, Ava is dating a nice guy. When Kelly’s
current wife, Mitzi, show up along with the Winter Street Inn old Santa Claus,
and Kevin’s ex-wife drama and romantic feuds are sure to stir things up.
Winter Stroll, by Elin Hilderbrand, is sure to capture you imagination and enable to
help you relax and escape from a hectic day. A fun Christmas read for almost
everyone.
