The Christmas Shoppe is a short fiction book. It's a really quick read. The story is set in a small town called Parrish Springs. A new shop is opening in town, by a new resident. The whole town can't wait for it to open. When it does they become divided over loving it and wanting to run in out of town. It's not a normal shop. The shopkeeper, Matilda, doesn't offer anything new. Everything is used and mostly broken. Yet those that venture in leave with something more valuable than material possessions. I picked up this book last week on a whim. I'm a sucker for a Christmas book! It is a sweet tale of love and forgiveness, with a sprinkling of the real meaning of Christmas. It was a nice distraction. I enjoyed the break from reading about murder and mayhem. If you are interested in a quick read, one that will lighten your mood, give The Christmas Shoppe a try.
