MY REVIEW:
"The Christmas Lamp" is a great Christmas novella that quickly got me interested in the little town of Nativity, Missouri and its quirky group of residents. The town is in fiscal trouble, big time. A consultant is brought in to try and turn things around and help the town survive. Only one problem. To the town of Nativity Christmas tradition is everything and to them Christmas tradition is nothing if not expensive. As consultant Jake Briscoe starts making his cuts here and there, and here and there... all he is really succeeding at is making everyone made and killing the Christmas spirit. Can Nativity, Missouri survive Jake Briscoe and Christmas to make it to another year?
I really enjoyed this Christmas novella. A fun read to put you in the Christmas spirit!
