Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Three short stories that will put you in the Christmas spirit. I enjoyed all three stories which talked about a romance that occurred when the characters least expected it.

This book has 3 different stories by 3 different authors. I really loved each Christmas story. Each story is different, such a nice light read for Christmas. Each story had me in a winery Chrissy mood. Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC!

This is the perfect book to start off the Christmas season. It's three delightful stories that take place at Christmas time, written by some of my favorite authors. Each story is different. The first one, "A Christmas Do-Over" by Sheila Roberts, is about how a former "mean girl" can be changed from the inside out when she unexpectedly encounters God. Upon being fired from her job, Darby comes home for Christmas and is compelled to make amends with several people she grew up with resulting in the restoration of friendships. This is a heartwarming, sweet story of getting a new start in life and the value of family and friends.

The second story, "Dashing Through the Snow" is written by Melissa Fergusson, is somewhat more whimsical. Willow and her longtime boyfriend, Jonas, planned a two-week train trip on The Christmas Express, however, shortly before the departure date, Jonas breaks up with her. Willow, who is in possession of the train tickets paid for by Jonas, decides she'll go on the holiday excursion by herself. What a ride it turns out to be.! Willow has no idea what adventures await her as she steps on The Christmas Express. A delightful, captivating story! When reaching out to meet the needs of others, the blessings also come back to the giver.

The third story, "A Perfectly Splendid Christmas" by Amy Clipston, is a beautifully written story of second chances - or perhaps a "do-over" is a more accurate. description. Kacey has come home to help her sister, Dani, at the Morningside Bakery. Dani and family are going through a rough time and Kacey, a graphic designer, is able to help at the bakery and keep up with her regular job remotely. Her niece, Riley is in the children's choir that is practicing for the Christmas Tree Lighting Festival. What a surprise to learn her childhood friend, and high school crush, Drew, is the community choir director. As Kacey and Drew re=establish their friendship they, along with Dani's family are the recipients of a heartfelt Christmas miracle.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

In the Sheila Roberts story, former mean girl, Darcy comes home to rebuild her life and make up for her previous bad behavior. I Melissa Ferguson’s book, Willow’s boyfriend leaves her for another woman just days before they are supposed to go on a Christmas train ride. Willow decides to go on her own and finds romance on the way. Amy Clipston’s book, Kacey wants to go back to the big city, but stays in her small town to help her sister run a bakery. She reconnects with her old classmate, Drew. Do they give up their dreams, or compromise. A good read.

This is 3 Christmas related short stories. All three are delighful in their own way and they are all very different. This is not your run of the mill Christmas short story collection. The first story is about a former mean girl who goes home and has to face all the folks that she wronged when she was younger. The second story is about a trip on a real Christmas Express. The third is about a hometown girl who is happy in the big city but comes back and revisits a relationship with a hometown boy who is happy in the hometown and how they resolve the conflict to live happily ever after.

You won't go wrong with this collection of Christmas stories. Enjoy!

I have voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book that I received from NetGalley. All views expressed are only my own honest opinion.

I received an ARC of, On the Way to Christmas by, Sheila Roberts, Melissa Ferguson, and Amy Clipston. This is a nice collection of 3 Christmas stories. All different, but all of them good.

I wanted something light to read this week because I had some procedures coming up and I didn't want to get caught up in something deep or heavy. This seemed to fit the bill--at least on the surface.

A Christmas Do-Over chronicles the reformation of a "Mean-Girl" and the pathway back to the good graces of those she's hurt along the way is long and humbling.

Dashing Through the Snow made absolutely no sense to me. Willow's boyfriend dumps her right before the wedding, but insists she take the honeymoon trip anyway, a two week train trip with various stops and excursions along the way. So far, so good. She develops a friendship with Clarence, the elderly owner of the train, and his son, Oliver. Her friendship with Oliver grows into something more, but this is where it makes no sense. At one point he says that the train was purchased when he was a child in 1953. This makes Oliver at least forty years older than Willow. I won't say love can't happen to two people with such a time span between them, but it is unlikely.

The best one of the novellas is A Perfectly Splendid Christmas by Amy Clipston. Amy is most well known for her Amish fiction, but she is coming into her own as a modern Christian romance writer. Kacey and Drew reconnect years after high school when Kacey comes back to Splendid Lake to help her sister out when her husband lost his job. Their relationship begins again as an easy flowing friendship that grows and develops into something more.

This is a four star book only because Amy Clipston's offering brings the average up.

Thomas Nelson provided the copy I read for this review. All opinions expressed are solely my own.

On the Way to Christmas, three novellas set between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

A Christmas Do-Over by Sheila Roberts brings Darby back to her home town. She has resisted going back because she was once the mean bad girl and didn't want to face eating humble pie. Her greatest regret was alienating her sister and best friend Greg. But life has changed her, and she must face the consequences of her actions and try to make them right.

Dashing Through the Snow by Melissa Ferguson finds Willow dumped by her boyfriend on the eve of a romantic cross country train trip. Certain he would propose, she decides to take the trip on The Christmas Express solo. Ferguson usually writes with much humor and banting back and forth with her characters. I was a little disappointed as this story felt a little flat.

A Perfectly Splendid Christmas by Amy Clipston was a delightful story. Kacey returns home to help her sister run her bakery, as her BIL lost his job and is having difficulty finding another one. Kacey is drawn to her former classmate Drew. But do they have too many differences to make a relationship work?
