Not my favorite,
A Christmas Gift was a quick Christmas read. Holly and Caleb used to be best friends until Caleb changed as they grew up. He became part of the popular boys who are mean to people, especially Holly. She still has a crush on him even though he is not very nice, but that is the way it is.
Holly works in retail and when Caleb asks her to help him pick out a gift for his girlfriend she can’t say no. After all he is being nice to her, even if she doesn’t trust him to not go back to the jerk he usually is on Monday. His girlfriend sounds terrible, much like he has been acting, so match made in heaven I guess. Only when shopping for her gift the two bond a bit and of course you add in a bit of Christmas magic and viola! They are in love. Yey!
Really the story was just okay. I love Christmas magic, but some of the ideas just bugged me a bit. Like Holly’s mom tells her that she feel in love with her dad, but her dad didn’t even notice her. So what did she do? Changed the way she looked to get his attention. When Holly questions this, asks isn’t that a bad message? That you have to change for a boy? Her mom is just like oh, but I didn’t change. Just my appearance a little bit. Even though Holly didn’t really buy into her mom’s must change for a boy thing after she tried it, it still bugged me a bit.
Overall it was an alright read. Very quick, with a touch of Christmas magic.

|Sweet PG-Romance for the Holidays,
Holly is a sweet girl who holds a bit of a grudge. She’s quiet, keeps to herself, and hates the group that her former best friend hangs out with. Caleb seems to be a nice guy, but hangs with a group that the way the author describes them reminds me of the T-Birds from Grease. Also he’s clueless when it comes to Holly.
Holly works at a large department store and Caleb asks for her help in finding his girlfriend the perfect gift. It’s a bit cliché how the story plays out. Girl pinning over guy, guy always liked girl but thought he didn’t have a chance, etc. Overall it’s a sweet PG-romance that plays out exactly as you would expect. If you’re looking for a quick read to cleanse your palate between books, this is it!
