Dear Friends,

I wrote a story called When Christmas Comes back in 2004and laughed all the way through the manuscript. To my mind, it was the perfect Christmas movie. Lots of action, delightful characters (if I do say so myself!) and plenty of good-natured humor. Theres Santa, the dwarfs, a runaway lobster and

Well, guess what? Hallmark Channel agreed that this romantic comedy was a natural for a Christmas movie, so they approached me with the idea of turning it into one, to be broadcast in late November or early December of this year. They wanted a different title, though, and in the end decided to use the shout line from the original back cover copy. Trading Christmas. Its a perfect title.

Yes, Trading Christma s is really When Christmas Comes with one additional bonus. It will come to life via your television screen. (Theres actually a second bonus included in this volume; its another Christmas storyfirst published in 1991called The Forgetful Bride. )

Years ago I saw a cartoon that showed a goat chewing away on a movie reel. He looks up at the viewer and says he liked the book better. In this instance, youll have to be the judge. The book or the movie? Hopefully both will keep you richly entertained.

Happy holidays, everyone. I hope you laugh and sigh and think this was the best Christmas book and movie you ever enjoyed. P.S. You can reach me at P.O. Box 1458, Port Orchard, WA 98366, or through my website, www.DebbieMacomber.com.

TRADING CHRISTMAS

For my cousin Paula Bearson, with gratitude.

And special thanks to writer and friend Ann DeFee.

W hat do you mean you wont be home for Christmas? Emily Springer was sure she couldnt have heard correctly. She pressed the telephone receiver harder against her ear, as though that would clarify her daughters words.

Mom, I know youre disappointed.

That didnt even begin to cover it. Emily had scraped and sacrificed in order to save airfare home for her only daughter, a student at Harvard. They always spent the holidays together, and now Heather was telling her she wouldnt be back for Christmas.

What could possibly be more important than Christmas with your family? Emily asked, struggling to hide her distress.

Her daughter hesitated. Its just that Ive got so much going on during those two weeks. Id love to be home with you, I really would, butI cant.

Emily swallowed past the lump in her throat. Heather was twenty-one; Emily realized her daughter was becoming an independent adult, but for the last eleven years it had been just the two of them. The thought of being separated from her only child over Christmas brought tears to her eyes.

Youve got all the neighbor kids to spoil, Heather continued.

Yes, the six Kennedy children would be more than happy to gobble up Emilys homemade cookies, candies and other traditional holiday treats. But it wouldnt be the same.

I was home a few months ago, Heather reminded her next.

Emily opened her mouth to argue. True, her daughter had spent the summer in Leavenworth, but shed been busy working and saving money for school. If she wasnt at her library job, she was with her friends. Emily knew that Heather had her own life now, her own friends, her own priorities and plans. That was to be expected and natural, and Emily told herself she should be proud. But spending Christmas on opposite sides of the country was simply too hardespecially for the two of them, whod once been so close.
