Once Upon a Christmas by Penny Zeller is a perfect little holiday escape. With a blend of warmth and heart, Zeller delivers a short and lovely story that hits all the right notes for Christmas. The romance between Ambrose and Wren is built on a solid foundation of faith, and you can feel it in every gesture—whether it's delivering gifts to those in need or just the unspoken love that grows between them. I loved the quiet, tender moments and the way their faith shapes their relationship, making it a story that's as much about love as it is about kindness and service.
This story has everything that makes Christmas feel special: snow, sleigh rides, and characters whose actions reflect the true meaning of the season. There’s a humor to Ambrose's awkwardness that made me chuckle, and Wren’s strength and calmness only make her more endearing. It's that perfect mix of sweetness and warmth that’ll leave you smiling, with just enough of that Christmas cheer to remind you of the simple joys of the season.
In the whirlwind of holiday chaos, this novella is like a deep breath of fresh, winter air. A cozy reminder that the best part of Christmas isn’t the presents, but the moments spent with those we love—doing good, sharing faith, and embracing the season’s true spirit – being Jesus’ hands and feet. It’s a delightful addition to any Christmas reading list.
