About An Endless Christmas:
Too many people, too much snow, and too little room should be a recipe for disaster.Christmas takes a very different turn when the guests of honor break up instead of announcing their engagement. Trapped with his family, they learn that love looks different than either imagined. Both in their eighties, Dodie and Wilson Binder celebrate every Christmas as if it were their last. This year, their grandson Micah is planning to ask his girlfriend, Katie, to marry him so they can celebrate with the whole family. But things go very wrong when she says, “no.” Now they are 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.
I am so glad I read this story before this holiday season because this book is full of wonderful ideas for me to think about implementing in our family holidays. One thing I have already done at Thanksgiving was telling my children that we were not interested in gifts from them but we would enjoy them giving us their time. I suggested they come over early Christmas morning for our traditional breakfast and to plan on spending the day with us so we could play games and enjoy one anothers company. I was thrilled when they agreed! Cynthia did a great job giving all of the family members a voice which allows the reader to get to know each family member the way Katie had to. My emotions were all over the place, one minute I am laughing at the bathroom schedule joke, crying at the passing of the horse, extreme sadness when grandpa Binder is in the hospital, amusement at the girls play, and joy when Katie finally understood what enduring love meant.
