The Christmas Jars was given to me by a friend, Thanks Kris :). It was a quick, sweet Christmas story that will put you in the mood for the holiday season! So grab a box of kleenex, a mug of hot chocolate and of course some Christmas cookies and settle in for a good read!

Her reporter's intuition insisted that a remarkable story was on the verge of the front page.

But along the way, Hope discovers much more than the origin of the jars. When some unexpected news sets off a chain reaction of kindness, Hope's greatest Christmas Eve wish comes true.
