the setup…
It’s a three-part short story collection set during Christmas in Minnesota.
Part 1 – Sweater Weather (narrated by Anthony Palmini & Patti Murin)
Anna is dreading the family Christmas party dinner because her sister is in charge and can’t boil water without it. She secretly orders a food delivery and who shows up on her doorstep but her ex Jeremy. They haven’t seen each other in seven years. Hilarity ensues along with the resurrection of unresolved feelings.
Part 2: Stealing Christmas (narrated by Grayson Owens & Mollie Stark)
Matty lost a bet with his brothers and now has to sit in a pancake diner dressed as a zombie Santa Claus, complete with mask, for 12 hours. Fortunately, his server is Rhiannon who is working a double shift. Not only does she make the ordeal more enjoyable but offers him a chance to return the favor.
Part 3: Marry Little Christmas (narrated by Christine Lakin and Zachary Webber)
Lauren races to the town of Little Christmas to rescue her friend from marrying a man she’s only known for three days. William is trying to do the same thing for his best friend…who happens to be the man Lauren’s friend is marrying. They team up to protect these two and find themselves falling down the Christmas rabbit hole.
the narration…
All six of the narrators were wonderful and delivered lively and inspired performances. They made me believe their characters and were great storytellers.
the bottom line…
I enjoyed all three and found something special in each of them. The entire collection put a smile on my face and brought the holiday spirit.
