A delightful collection of holiday short stories to get you in a Christmas mood. I loved Fern Michaels’ tale of two adult children returning home to help their parents struggling Christmas tree farm businesses. This was a cozy, sweet, cold weather story with plenty of fir and pine wreaths I could practically smell as I was reading! In another tale, two strangers are snowed in during a blizzard in rural Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I especially enjoyed Joanne Fluke’s story of Hannah Swenson and baking partner Lisa baking up Christmas treats for students at a local boarding school who had to remain back over the Christmas holidays. A lovely collection with many candy canes worth of winter cheer!

THE TWELVE DESSERTS OF CHRISTMAS by JOANNE FLUKE
This story is about a group of kids who are left behind at the Christmas holidays at the boarding school.
Julie and Matt, both teachers will chaperon the kids, 3 boys, 3 girls and they discover there are NO desserts for them.
Julie was a HS friend of Andrea who's sister is Hannah the one that bakes and owns the Cookie Jar. She is persuaded to deliver desserts to them daily and each gets to pick out a favorite of theirs.
The teachers are romantically inclined and it's not hardship for them to be there together.
Mystery starts when the kids sign the wager. Love the story of the Christmas cake.
Love how Hannah and her family and friends help the kids celebrate. They are blown away with happiness.
Can't wait to read of Hannah's stories.
Recipes are included along with conversion tables at the end. Note from the author is included. ( )
