In this charming book from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber, the queen of holiday tales, two longtime friends decide to switch places the week before Christmas and wind up falling in love along the way.
Even though Hank Colfax and Peter Armstrong are great friends, their lives couldn't be more unlike. As the holiday season draws near, Peter, the neighborhood pastor who is committed to his community, spends time visiting the flock, going to meetings, and getting ready for the live nativity and Christmas service. At his family-run pub, Hank works as a bartender and serves a very different clientele, which includes the neighborhood motorcycle gang and a few lone regulars.
Peter scoffs that Hank has it easier than he does, so the two resolve to work different shifts until Christmas Eve. They are surprised to learn that a priest and a bartender have comparable duties, but Hank and Peter find it harder to take on each other's workload than they anticipated. Their lives are irrevocably altered as they start to view one other in a different light and find a new love to cherish.
Debbie Macomber honors the genuine significance of the holidays and the embracing sense of community that unites us all in her book The Christmas Spirit.
