Sarah McDowell and Mary Sutton used to be best of friends, until one little white lie and a tea set was involved.  Ten years ago, high school sweethearts Noelle McDowell and Thom Sutton fell in love.  They kept their affair a secret because of their feuding mothers; they had made plans to elope until Thom jilted Noelle.

This Christmas Noelle comes home to Rose Oregon.  Whom does she see on the plane ride home, but her very handsome and still single ex.  It is a surprise for both of them to see each other.  During the holidays, Mary and Sarah are surprised to find out that they are going to be working together on the annual Christmas basket charity.  

As Christmas gets closer, Thom and Noelle are spending more time with each other than they thought possible.  They soon discover that they are still in love with each other, and that nothing is going to tear them apart, not even their feuding mothers.  This Christmas, can their mothers put aside their differences to give their children as second chance at love and happiness? 

A CHRISTMAS BASKET is a very charming Christmas book that readers will enjoy.  Debbie Macomber does a wonderful job of writing a witty and charming book with warmth and love.  As a reader, I truly enjoyed this Christmas story.  The characters are delightful and funny with their ongoing family feud.
