Book Review: The Perfect Christmas

In Debbie Macomber’s “The Perfect Christmas”, a desperate woman seeks out a matchmaker to find a husband.  Simon then gives her 3 Christmas-related jobs, to see if she’s a match for the man he's selected.  Will she survive these tasks?

Starting with the first job, I felt sorry for Cassie when the wife of a charity donator threw coffee on her.  Personally, I remember my time as a Salvation Army bell ringer with fondness.  On the other hand, I didn’t have to stand outside in freezing temperatures.  I also wasn’t crazy about the heroine being humiliated during her second job as an elf.  As for the third job, I always enjoy reading about what’s on the menu for Christmas dinner.  Besides all that, Simon could have been more polite. 

Despite some flaws, I think this is a great novel.  I read it every year.
