"Sometimes, the greatest gift we can give someone is the freedom to be themselves."
This was a heartwarming little novel about the spirit of Christmas (which is not my favorite thing) and found family (which is). Even though I'm not particularly into holidays, I really enjoyed all the characters in this community, from the curmudgeonly old lady to the crazy old lady to the sweet old lady. Just to clarify, there are more characters than just old ladies in this book, but I truly loved them all! It was a really cute, sweet read that may not have tugged at my emotionally-stunted heartstrings as much as it might for others, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
