Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Roberts's sweetly vengeful dig at do-nothing husbands follows a smalltown knitting club of wives who are sick and tired of toiling over elaborate Christmas preparations that their husbands don't appreciate. As they go on strike, the women try to stay in solidarity, while the husbands plan retaliation at the hardware store. Roberts revels in detailing the husbands' awkward, often disastrous handling of tasks their wives habitually do for Christmas (taking the kids to see Santa, planning the party, doing up the house). By the end of this gently feminist sendup, each side learns to be grateful for the other's efforts. (Nov.)

Review
"Sheila Roberts makes me laugh. I came away inspired, hopeful and happy." --Debbie Macomber, New York Times bestselling author of A Good Yarn and Christmas Letters
"At last! An author who writes her way straight to the heart of every woman. This is the book to give your best friend, your mom, your sister, even your grandmother. Sheila Roberts gives us one of the most frank, funny and unforgettable books of the year. She writes with all the sweetness of Debbie Macomber, the uproarious humor of Jennifer Crusie and a touching honesty all her own. Prepare to spend the day in your bathrobe, with your fuzzy slippers on and a nice cup of tea, enjoying an irresistible read." --Susan Wiggs, New York Times bestselling author of The Winter Lodge
"Hilarious...a fun and festive debut." --Library Journal
"Roberts' witty and effervescently funny holiday novel will warm hearts. Realistic characters populate the pages of this captivating story, which is a great escape from the holiday hustle and bustle." --Romantic Times (Top Pick)
