In Charles Dickens Brentwood's profit-driven life, there is no time for sentimentality. There's no room for family, friends or even the only woman he's ever loved. But when Christmas Eve visitations of holidays past and future show him the life he could have, will Charles change his ways and make this An American Carol his ancestor would be proud of? Down-on-her-luck Stella Gray is about to lose her apartment and her business. The last thing she needs is temporary custody of a troubled boy and the distraction of his well-meaning--and attractive--lawyer, Victor Lancaster. But with Kris Kringle's help and a little Miracle on Bannock Street, this unlikely trio might actually form a family. Meredith Downey wishes she'd left town and never looked back when she'd had the chance. But It's a Wonderful Night when her wish is magically granted and she discovers how different life would have been without all the people whose lives she's touched--and the man she's come to love.
The three stories are good but one way or another you already knew the stories before this book. This doesn't mean that the book is boring or dull or anything like that. You can read it and you'll have a nice time reading it. The review's punch-line is that if you want to read a paramount Xmas story that you never heard before read: The Christmas Train by David Baldacci

When I had first started to read this, I thought I was reading a "take off" on Charles Dickens' Scrooge - then I had looked at the title again and I was - BUT each of the stories, since they were a "take off" on all my favorite Christmas movies, I couldn't wait to read how the authors "readjusted" the endings. They were all good - I cannot say which was my favorite - loved them all
