Synopsis
A
humorous short story about the dreaded holiday classic. Retirement's not what
Robert expected. His wife feeds him twigs and is afraid of mailbox bombs. If
that's not enough a fruitcake shows up on his doorstep. Fruitcakes may be a
Southern tradition, but it's one Robert can do without. Find out how he deals
with the holiday classic.
My Thoughts
Talk about a
cute and funny read! At 12 pages I didn’t think this could be an actual story
but it is it. I love the interaction between Robert and his grandson and the
love that is shown. Plus a little holiday mischief was just what made this read
so enjoyable. While the holiday season can be busy and sometimes you don’t have
time to read a full fledged novel this one is just the right thing. You get the
holiday feel and a fun read all rolled into one.
This sounds fun, Monica! I'm going to have to look this up; I love a quick holiday read! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteYes I think it's still free on Amazon. It's the perfect thing to read when you have 10 free minutes of me time.
