Currently Reading for the Book Girl read-a-thon: On Strike for Christmas


This the last book for my read-a-thon, I saw the TV movie for this during Lifetime's Christmas movie block. The movie was really funny and lighthearted. I hope the book will be even better than the movie.

Book: On Strike for Christmas by Sheila Roberts

Source: Library

Description:

At Christmastime, it seems as though a woman’s work is never done. Trimming the tree, mailing the cards, schlepping to the mall, the endless wrapping—bah humbug! So this year, Joy and Laura and the rest of their knitting group decide to go on strike. If their husbands and families want a nice holiday—filled with parties, decorations, and presents—well, they’ll just have to do it themselves. The boycott soon takes on a life of its own when a reporter picks up the story and more women join in. But as Christmas Day approaches, Joy, Laura, and their husbands confront larger issues in their marriages and discover that a little holiday magic is exactly what they need to come together.

Sheila Roberts gives the best gift of all in this funny, heartwarming novel that touches the very core of Christmas spirit.
