Is there such a thing as too much Christmas cheer?

I may poke a bit of fun at some of the over-the-top Christmas traditions depicted in the book, but the truth is... I love Christmas! My house is almost as bad as Vanessa Hutchins'. It helps that I've owned a gift shop for twenty years. My husband loves to go to market with me to buy for the season. In fact, if I let him, he would buy WAY too much! (The best thing of all? If we can't sell it, we get to keep it!) Share your favorite Christmas tradition with me on social media. I love hearing how other people celebrate the holidays!

Book Excerpt

Christmas in The Sisters

Thirty minutes later, Brash pulled out from their driveway, his ears still ringing. There had been more Hutchins cheer to behold.

On his way through the hall, Brash activated an entire collection of dancing, singing elves. Twice. A tiny little Santa not only popped out from the cuckoo clock, he also chirped Ho,Ho. Ho,Ho. In the kitchen, a radio belted out holiday music. The mat at the back door sang the opening notes of Over the River and Through the Woods. And as word of the break-in spread, Vanessa’s phone kept up a steady jingle with her holiday ring-tone. By the time Brash made his way through the maze of dazzling lights and blow-up lawn decor, he welcomed the peace and quiet of his patrol car. He never thought the squawk of a police scanner could be considered peaceful, but then again, he had never visited the Hutchins’ home at Christmas-time.
