Journey to post-war America where best friends, Audrey and Eve, are teaching their 5-year-old sons the true meaning of Christmas. Soon they find their own hearts healing from war and opening to the possibility of love. This nostalgic holiday story reminds us that the best gifts are the ones we least expect and don't deserve.

**From the bestselling author of *If I Were You* comes a nostalgic and endearing holiday story that reminds us that sometimes the most meaningful gifts are the ones we least expect and don't deserve.**

Best friends Audrey Barrett and Eve Dawson are looking forward to celebrating Christmas in postwar America, thrilled at the prospect of starting new traditions with their five-year-old sons. But when the 1951 Sears Christmas Wish Book arrives and the boys start obsessing over every toy in it, Audrey and Eve realize they must first teach them the true significance of the holiday. They begin by helping Bobby and Harry plan gifts of encouragement and service for those in their community, starting by walking an elderly neighbor's yellow Lab-since a dog topped the boys' wish list for Santa. In the charming tale that follows, Audrey and Eve are surprised to find their own hearts healing from the tragedies of war and opening to the possibility of forgiveness and new love.

Really nice
This is a sweet, clean-cut Christmas story set in the 1950s. It’s book 2 of a series, but the first one isn’t Christmas, & I gleaned enough info throughout this book that it was fine to start with this one. The book itself is beautiful. Light reading, but good themes & lovely morals. I love the Christmas sermon at the end. I’d read it again.

A heartwarming Christmas story
I purchased this book last Christmas. It tells a story of what Christmas should be like. Christmas should be about redemption, forgiveness, love, and generosity. This book will also give good guidance to parents who want to teach their children about the true meaning of Christmas - the birth of our saviour.
