A small town story of one woman's hilarious effort to save Christmas Marianne Wallace dreads the empty nest. She loves her husband, but she's thrived on being a mother, and nothing will stop her from having a final epic Christmas before her youngest son leaves home. But first, she's going to cheer him onto his football state championship... Disaster strikes when the team loses their mascot-the Trout. Is it going too far to ask her to don the costume? Of course--she'll do anything for her children...but then her husband volunteers her to organize the church Christmas tea, and she's ready to throw him to the elves. But what choice does a good, Proverbs 31 woman have? No problem-she rolls up her sleeves. As football playoffs start ramping up, the Christmas tea takes a wild turn, and then...one by one her children tell her they won't be home for Christmas. How will Marianne save her last Christmas? And will it look anything like the Christmas she's always wanted it to be? An award-winning holiday classic by beloved best-selling, award-winning author Susan May Warren. **All I Want for Christmas is an SDG Publishing reissue of The Great Christmas Bowl, previously published by Tyndale House**
