Fiction. Literature. Romance. Katherine O'Connor often spends her days at a cozy cafe on Blossom Street in Seattle, where she writes Christmas letters for other people. She's good at making their everyday lives sound more interesting. More humorous. More dramatic. But for Dr. Wynn Jeffries, who also frequents the cafe, Christmas means lies and deception. In fact, the renowned child psychologist recommends that parents "Bury Santa Under the Sleigh." Katherine, however, feels that his parenting philosophy is one big mistake-at least, based on her four-year-old twin nieces, who are being raised according to his "Free Child" methods. She argues with Wynn about his theories, while he argues that her letters are nothing but lies. They disagree about practically everything-and yet, somehow, they don't really want to stop arguing. As the days-and nights-move closer to Christmas, Katherine and Wynn both discover that love means accepting your differences. And Christmas is about the things you share.… (més)

The story was ok but from the start it had a Hallmark movie vibe (which I am not fond of). The title Christmas Letters was very deceiving as the Letters were a very small part of the story. I have read Debbie Macomber books in the past but disappointed in this one. This book went from KO (horrible nickname) hating Wynn for his ideas on child-rearing to the two falling in love, having their required break-up and reconciliation within a matter of a few short weeks.

The most disappointing part of this book is Wynn breaking off the relationship with Katharine because she truthfully expressed her feelings toward his book. His ego couldn't handle it. Then we have Katharine berating herself for speaking her mind and not "keeping her mouth shut." And she went to apologize to him.

I am trying to consider the book was published in 2006 but it's recent enough that this is not a good depiction of a healthy relationship.

Overall, the story was ok but it will probably keep me from picking up any other Debbie Macomber books. ( )

This was a good Christmas romance and an easy read but not very memorable. ( )

This was really quite a bad book. So much of this book requires suspension of disbelief and I just couldn't do it. Not with the main male lead's carrier, book and opinions, not with the incident with the cat, not with the romance or their compatibility. On top of that all the characters were over the top and dislikeable for various reasons. If that isn't bad enough, the main female lead clearly has an eating disorder and it is treated like it is completely normal. I have read a number of Macomber's books and enjoyed them, but this one is not one I could ever recommend. ( )

I should have known that this wasn't the book for me as soon as I saw that the main character was known by the nickname "K.O." The rest of the character names were almost all equally over-the-top. Beyond that, the resolution didn't actually resolve how awful K.O.'s sister treated her or the fact that there were still big fundamental differences between the love interests' child-rearing philosophies... This one just wasn't appealing to me at all. ( )
