Review by Blake and Ashlyn: Really good book, very surprising. My favorite character was Uncle Gard. I think it was very very surprising, things popped everywhere when you didn't expect them.

Samantha has several holiday disappointments--she isn't allowed to decorate, her party plans are ruined, and no one is this household has time for her!! Cornelia's forthcoming visit is to blame for everything. Christmas Day or Cornelia Day?? Then Uncle Gard and Cornelia arrive and the holidays take

a sudden change.

Cute story about Samantha, one of the American Girl dolls, and her Christmas spent with her Uncle Gard and his good friend Cornelia, which causes a bit of an upset to her plans as her Grandmother, called "Grandmary," wants everything to be perfect for Cornelia, meaning Samantha's wants fall by the

wayside.

Someone left this in my Little Free Library, and I had never read any of the American Girl books, so I picked this one up to read for the holidays. Now that I've read it, I'll return it for someone else to discover.
