Once Upon a Christmas Carol by Melody Carlson


Once Upon a Christmas Carol by Melody Carlson is a delightful Christmas novella filled with Christmas charm. Carol Langstrom hates Christmas which is a problem since she shares her birthday with the holiday.  To avoid Christmas, she is on a flight to the Bahamas until she is redirected to the Grand Rapids, Michigan airport.  Luckily, she remembers she has an aunt nearby who happens to be all about Christmas and is up for a visit. 

I was enchanted by this sweet story that was filled with sweet romance, faith themes, and a lovely Christmas setting.  The characters were very engaging and I loved meeting Carol.  It was inspiring to watch her as she navigated a challenging life and was able to grow, change, and become a healthier person.  I enjoyed entering the world of small-town Miller’s Creek, Michigan to celebrate Christmas with Carol, her family, and friends. 

This is a delightful novella that will remind you of the beauty of the Christmas season, the joy of serving others, and that we can change.   Once Upon a Christmas Carol by Melody Carlson is a joy to read and is a great way to celebrate the Christmas season. I very much recommend reading any time of the year you need to remember what is important. 

I was gifted a copy by the publisher and not required to write a positive review.
