Christmas Letters

By: Debbie Macomber

Narrated by: Renée Raudman

Celebrate Christmas on Blossom Street with a brand-new romantic comedy from New York Times best-selling author Debbie Macomber.

Katherine O'Connor often spends her days at a cozy cafe on Blossom Street in Seattle where she writes Christmas letters for other people. She's good at making their everyday lives sound more interesting. More humorous. More dramatic.

But for Dr. Wynn Jeffries, who also frequents the cafe, Christmas means lies and deception. In fact, the renowned child psychologist recommends that parents "Bury Santa Under the Sleigh". Katherine, however, feels that his parenting philosophy is one big mistake, based on her four-year-old twin nieces, who are being raised according to his "Free Child" methods.

She argues with Wynn about his theories, while he argues that her letters are nothing but lies. They disagree about practically everything and yet, somehow, they don't really want to stop arguing.

As the days and nights move closer to Christmas, Katherine and Wynn both discover that love means accepting your differences. And that Christmas is about the things you share.

Christmas stories are good if you want something short to read.

This book took me a while to really get involved. I like it being audible. The short stories are okay but I prefer a novel.

just okayolady

I found this book to be just okay. The narration was a little slow. the story was admirable but not quite what I was hoping for

Hmm...

Being A Christmas novel, I expected it to be fairy tale like. But I found so many parts of this cute little story more than predictable. It's not a bad, short little read but don't expect any substance.

Sweet read

I haven't read Debbie Macomber in a while, I was a little disappointed with this one. I don't think I realized how she writes women as too worried about their appearance, weight specifically. I don't care for that.

The narrator wasn't terrible, but wasn't good either. I could stand her, just barely. I couldn't describe her reading style, it just isn't good.

Cute story, didn't connect with the narrator

I almost stopped listening after the first 45 minutes, but decided to give it a second try. Very cute story, but I couldn't connect with the narrator. Her voice just didn't do it for me.

Loved Renee Raudman as the Narrator.

Enjoying the Blossom street series. Renee narrating this book was enjoyable listening too, as well as calming. Thank you

Such a fun book!

My top rating is 4 Stars unless I feel the book is indispensable. This book is tops. So fun! Highly recommend for anyone over 15.

Sweet Story

Debbie Macomber is an amazing story teller. I enjoyed every minute. Looking forward to her next book.

Listen Yearly

Would you listen to Christmas Letters again? Why?

Originally, I listened to a copy from my public library. I rarely listen or read books more than once since there are so many available to choose from. But, this book has become one of the few books I enjoy each year during the holiday season. After enjoying the library book so much, I purchased a copy from Audible. There is a good deal of humor in this book and I enjoy that it is a light, fun story. Though I am not a person who adores the holidays, this book usually helps to put me in the "spirit of the season."

a fun Christmas read

the story was likable as were the primary characters. not a "can't put it down" read but entertaining in the Christmas spirit
