Christmas Letters

By Debbie Macomber

Katherine O’Connor spends a lot of time at a cozy café on Blossom Street in Seattle where she writes Christmas letters for other people.  She’s good at making their everyday lives sound like a story book, much more entertaining than the reality.

But for Dr Wynn Jeffries, a renowned child psychologist, who also frequents the café, Christmas means lies and deception.  In fact, he recommends that parents “bury Santa under the sleigh”. 

Katherine, however, feels that his parenting philosophy is one big mistake, especially since her five year old twin nieces are being raised according to Dr Jeffries' “free child” methods.  Katherine argues with Wynn about his theories, while he argues that her letters are nothing but lies.
