Ok, guys - I need your help. Last year during the holiday season, I purchased a paperback book from Walmart that contained 3 different Christmas stories (all of the romance type). It was pink and contained a free ornament. I know I read the first story - it was about a daughter who returned home for the holidays and ended up helping on a Christmas tree farm only to fall in love with the owner's son. I simply cannot remember the the other two stories or if I even read them and I cannot find the book at home. I am trying to find the book online so I can read the synopsis of the three stories to figure out if I have read the other two or not. If I have, I won't keep looking for the book at home. If I haven't, I want to find it so I can read them. Does anyone know what book I'm talking about and what the name of it or any of the stories are - or the name of any of the authors?
 
Wow! I'm a librarian and I can usually figure stuff like this out, but the books that come with ornaments don't get purchased by the library, so that makes it harder to find.

Do you remember if any of the authors were big ones or which publisher it was? The romnance publishers' books usually have some of the same features that would help narrow it down.

I bought that book and it was really good - especially the Christmas tree farm story - I am thinking Debbie Macomber (?) or someone like that was one of the authors. I am not a big reader but wanted some Christmas fluff to read and that was good fluff!

It was good, wasn't it? After thinking about it, the name of the first story about the tree farm might have something to do with a stocking.
Remember there was a giant stocking full of stuff that they gave as a door prize at an open house at the tree farm? Uuggh - this is driving me crazy! (Where is that "head banging the brick wall" smiley?!?)
 
I found it - online that is! Now to just find my copy since I now know I have only read the first one. Its called "Sugar and Spice" and actually contains four stories:

The Christmas Stocking, Fern Michaels
Philadelphia businesswoman Amy Baran is determined to raise money for a new seniors' center by harvesting Christmas trees from the small-town Virginia farm she remembers from her childhood. Trouble is, Gus Moss has come home from California with his own ideas about saving the farm his father has neglected. Neither wants to give up, but when attraction turns to romance, they just might have to give in . . .

The Ghost of Christmas Past, Beverly Barton
Wounded Special Ops officer Mack MacKinnon doesn't have any reason to look forward to the holidays-until he rescues pretty widow Katie Hadley from a raging blizzard. Now, in a season of miracles, he's falling as hard and fast as the Christmas Eve snow . . .

The Twelve Desserts of Christmas, Joanne Fluke
Take two lovestruck teachers. Add a dollop of conspiring kids. Place in a boarding school over Christmas break. And add a little help-and eight, great recipes-from amateur sleuth Hannah Swenson, and you've got a romantic holiday tale that's sweet, delicious, and definitely served warm . . .

Twelve Days, Shirley Jump
Of all the luck-Natalie Harris can't believe she drew Jake Lyons as her Secret Santa pal! The dreamy hunk leaves her completely tongue-tied. But with twelve days of secret gifts, sweet notes, and steamy emails to go, she just may conquer her fear and discover something surprising under the tree . . .


I'll be anything its upstairs in the attic in my boxes of Christmas stuff.:eek:
Thanks for all the input. You all have given me some new ideas for my Christmas reading list!!
 
They come out with a new one every year that has three or for short stories by different authors in them. Walmart has them but they are normally from the year before. Barnes and Noble carry them also and are easy to find on their christmas book display in the front of the store.
