Yes, this is a good book to read at Christmas. It really puts you in the giving mood and shows you that Christmas should be a time for giving but, as a novel it was lacking. The plot is very predictable. It is a sweet story, almost too sweet. It is not the kind of story that will give you much to discuss, it seems to have only one purpose. That purpose is that Christmas should be about giving. Give this book with a jar to someone at Christmas for a gift. It is a short easy read during the hectic holiday season. As a book club book that I would recommend for discussion- no.
