The Village Christmas Party is about a woman named Lauren. She has a very busy life between working in a small shop, helping others where she can, baking and hanging out with friends. One of the biggest events she organizes every year is the pensioners Christmas party on Christmas Eve. There is a lot to organize but Lauren is meticulous with her lists so nothing gets missed. Lauren is meticulous about most things in life actually. Often turning down plans with friends so she can check items off her lists.
When Lauren shows up Christmas Eve for the pensioners party she is shocked to find that the community centre has been double booked by this hot guy she's been spotting around town. He's planning a birthday party for his 7 year old daughter and sees nothing wrong with mixing the seniors and children's parties. This is certainly not on Lauren's checklists but hot guy seems quite certain nothing can go wrong.
The Village Christmas Party is a bit of a slower paced novel with not much action. But it is a lovely story and gives me the Hallmark vibe I was looking for with a previous book. It is a quick read with a happy ending.
