Since it's July and we are doing our "golden oldie" post why not find a Christmas story to read. Okay, this came to me as I was in my basement going through books to donate. I found Making Merry by Dixie Kane and knew I had to reread it.
Unfortunately, Ms. Kane is no longer with us. She passed away some time back which is a shame because I think we'd all be enjoying her books right now. She only wrote three books but each of them made me chuckle.
As I was quickly rereading Making Merry I realized how dated it was. Which kind of made me feel old. Ha!
I will admit that Cecily comes off as very superficial but you need to see what's behind the face she shows the world. She learned a long time ago not to show the real her. I get why Christmas is horrible for her. Hell, it would suck for anyone. But to see what she does to make Hannah, a child she didn't even know about happy made my heart happy.
Now Mack is in a shitty position. He has a job to do and part of that job isn't to fall for Cecily or Hannah either. But some things are out of your control. Yes, he does his job but that doesn't stop him for caring or hoping for a future.
I really enjoyed this madcap tale. Like I said slightly dated but still funny and an enjoyable read. I'm so glad that I found it while cleaning. I think if you read it for what it is you'll truly enjoy it.

December 2, 2011Just couldn't connect with the heroine: a grown woman who chooses to live in her father's house and under his thumb (a fact she even acknowledges to herself) and who's so rich she has nothing to do all day but shop. And create scandals in the tabloids. I prefer books about people I can relate to.

some parts were boring, but this book had me laughing and crying as the events unfolded.
