Holidays with the Angels: Christmas Shopping with the Angels / Grandma and the Angels
A collection of two new original short stories from author Debbie Macomber featuring the irrepressible angels, Shirley, Goodness and Mercy. First published in Macomber's Digital Magazine, these heartwarming stories are now available exclusively in this collection.
Christmas Shopping with the Angels
In this short story, you'll see returning characters from my Christmas novel, A Mrs. Miracle Christmas. Come enjoy more hilarious antics by our favorite angels Shirley, Goodness and Mercy. Our rogue angels’ pranks lighten the holiday season at Macy’s but can they answer a shopper’s prayers and yet avoid trouble from Gabriel?
Grandma and the Angels
Rachel and Sam, bored with being quarantined with their work-from-home parents, are disappointed to learn their beloved grandmother can’t afford the airfare to visit them for Christmas. Enter our favorite angels Shirley, Goodness and Mercy. What pranks at the airport will they use to answer this prayer without being seen?

Angels cause havoc
These three Angels were funny when they were causing trouble with the tree and escalators. They also did good by helping the man afford the bracelet.

Always Cute Stories
I have read most of these angel stories that have been published and find them cute, funny, and enjoyable and these are no exception. This book is two such stories, and are a very quick read, about 30 minutes or so. The only thing I was really surprised about and a little disappointed in, was the typos in this offering. I found several that involved extra words inserted that should not be there, or the order of words were off. This made reading a bit more difficult than it should be. This is not the usual for this author and I would say that these stories need a better edit. Maybe this was done in haste since they are a reprint from previous works (although I had not read these previously). That is the reason for the 4 stars, not 5. Overall, I liked these simple stories, but was disappointed with the writing/edit errors.

This book contained two wonderful short stories about three angels, Shirley. Goodness and Mercy. It’s such a joy to read about their antics as they try to handle their earthly assignments from Gabriel. They don’t always follow the heavenly rules, but they mean well. It’s been awhile, but I still get a smile on my face along with a few chuckles. Well done Debbie Macomber. Hope to read about them again soon.

“Holidays with the Angels” by Debbie Macomber
Shirley Goodness & Mercy – AGAIN !
I have yet to read a story with these three in it that was less than a perfect read for the soul. They always make me smile. Yes, I loved these two very short stories.
Note: This review expresses my honest opinion.
I read a kindle-unlimited loan edition.

Two sweet and comical Christmas Angel stories
In these two sweet stories about three somewhat mischievous Christmas angels, Shirley, Goodness and Mercy bring joy to humans. Not afraid to step a little off the perfect angel ways, these 3 makes things happen so prayers come true. A great light read for the holidays.

We’ve all just survived the worst of the pandemic. Bruised. This book takes you back, but throws in a miracle. You will feel for the little girl whose heart hurts because she misses her friends and grandma, until three crazy angels who see earth as a crazy planet visit to spread some miracles and cheers.

I fell in love with these angels during her longer novels with these three delights.
I'm glad to see that she added a novella to the collection. And the two short stories while they were short they were short sweet with a very touching message of Hope and who doesn't want a touching hopefulness during the holiday season.

Angels at Christmas
This is such a heart warming read. It's good for all ages. And Debbie Macomber never disappoints. I won't give anything away but I will say this ... Goodness, Mercy and Shirley are a pair that can't be unbroken.

my favorite angels
Cute short stories. Nice way to get a Shirley, Goodness and Mercy fix. I remember being hooked the second I finished the first book. I could read about their antics every day.

I might have given this book four stars if the second story hadn’t taken place during the pandemic. It’s bad enough we all had to live through it, we don’t need it showing up in our books.
