SUMMARY: Both in their eighties, Dodie and Wilson Binder celebrate every Christmas as if it were their last. This year, their only grandson, Micah, asks his girlfriend, Katie to marry him - in front of the whole family. But things go terribly wrong when she says no. Now Katie is stuck. Too many people, too much snow, and too little room should be a recipe for disaster. But, sometimes too much is just enough. Especially, when it's Christmas.
Will Katie let herself love and be loved before it is too late?
REVIEW: Thinking about this book while waiting for it to arrive, I started getting anxious. How would the story work out? If this were me, I would feel like the walls were closing in on me and like I was under a spotlight. Would Katie feel the same way? My fears were for naught. This story was awesome and so sweet!! The Binders have everything down to organized chaos. Everyone has a comfortable place to sleep, even if it is in a window seat, plenty to eat and lots of wonderful memories to be made. They open their doors to anyone in need of family and no one is a stranger. When Wilson has some health issues, everyone pitches in to make sure Christmas Eve dinner is taken care of, the younger kids are taken care of and that Grandpa gets the help he needs. I love the surprises towards the end of the story. This is a family everyone longs to have. They've learned the hard way that tomorrow is not guaranteed so live for now, with no regrets.
This is an awesome book that should be read every year.
