I recommend Dear Santa to readers of Women's Fiction and for fans of Debbie Macomber. If you enjoy reading a great Christmas Romance you will enjoy this novel. This book is a stand alone read. Having already read and enjoyed many stories from Debbie Macomber I was not surprised to find myself completely enjoying Dear Santa. This one was slightly a second chance romance with the characters having known each other in childhood and it was full of Christmassy fun. Everyone could use a little bit of hope in the holiday season and the author did a wonderful job bringing hope to life in the story. Great feel good read for the season.

Beautiful Christmas Romance by Debbie Macomber, a leading Author of Women's Fiction. Every Year it's tradition for me to read her newly released Christmas novel. Dear Santa did not disappoint this reader and her book warmly embraced me with the spirit of Christmas. Her Christmas stories are light and uplifting. Debbie never fails to completely draw me into her books. I found Dear Santa to be entertaining and a fun read. And lastly Dede, Billy’s sister. Now we don’t get to see her much but I’d like to talk about the chat she had with Lindy towards the end of the book. She said she was scared Billy wouldn’t be able to focus on his work when Lindy, the girl he has known for a week, leaves. If his ability to focus and work ethic is that bad, he shouldn’t be running a business in the first place. And Dede, you shouldn’t have invested a lot of money into a boy with the mental capacity of a frying pan. Peggy, the so-called best friend, was also very creepy. She made me feel like I was reading a horror book. She was doing EVERYTHING in her power to make Lindy stay. And whenever Lindy refused, she literally manipulated her. She made her believe the reason she didn't want to leave her stable job in the biggest company in her field and her apartment with a lease was because Lindy didn't want to make her ex feel like he won. HOW ARE THE TWO CONNECTED? Also, Peggy asked Lindy to be her housemate since she "needed one" and I know for a fact she murdered her old housemate so Lindy could move in.Reading through a box of childhood letters to Santa and reminiscing about what she'd wished for as a young girl may be just the inspiration Lindy needs. With Ellen's encouragement, she decides to write a new letter to Santa, one that will encourage her to have faith and believe just as she'd done all those years ago. Little does Lindy know that this exercise in gratitude will cause her wishes to unfold before her in miraculous ways. And, thanks to some fateful twists of Christmas magic--especially an unexpected connection with a handsome former classmate--Lindy ultimately realizes that there is truly no place like home for the holidays. Lindy’s mother wanted to cheer up Lindy when she arrived so she shared Lindy’s old childhood letters to Santa with her. After reading the stories from when she was young Lindy can’t help but hope for a little Christmas magic to still exist and writes another letter wishing for a new best friend and boyfriend this Christmas. After that Lindy never saw Billy at school because he moved somewhere else and Lindy thought it was because of her, but when Lindy reconnects with Billy she learns that he moved away because Billy's father left the family.

Dear Santa by Debbie Macomber is a sweet, holiday romance that is both heartwarming and delightful. This book could easily turn into a Hallmark movie as it’s everything you’d expect on the Hallmark Channel for a holiday movie. There are enough cute Christmassy events, but not too much to make it saccharine. The story was weird and it was hard to connect to the characters. Especially our MC Lindy. Let me tell you something folks, do not leave your dream job you just received a promotion from for a boy you have known for a week. Not in this economy. Not ever. Lindy needs to set her priorities straight. I have never met a Debbie Macomber story that didn’t pull on my heart strings and DEAR SANTA did not disappoint. It is kind of predictable but I still loved every minute of it. It is a sweet story filled with family, emotions that will have you smiling and tearing up, second chances and no bad language or sex scenes. I look forward to Debbie Macomber’s holiday stories every year and as soon as I know they are coming I’m filled with excitement. Debbie has a way of pulling her readers right in and making them fall in love with all of her characters. I found myself cheering for Lindy and hoping she would be able to remember what Christmas is all about.Dear Santa is a beautifully written sweet, heartwarming, romantic novel. Put down any book you're reading right now and read Dear Santa by Debbie Macomber!!!!
