Melody Carlson has written a delightful story for the holidays in "The Christmas Bus". The books opens by introducing us to the small Oregon town called Christmas Valley. In an attempt to save this fledgling town, the town's people have decided to promote it as a Christmas all year long destination. Edith and Charles Ryan own the town's bed and breakfast. Edith eagerly anticipates each holiday season when their four grown children come home. This year however, the kids and their families can't make it. Edith moves from feelings of holiday sadness to holiday gladness with a plan to celebrate the season. She opens the inn up to guests at a time when they are normally closed to visitors. The guests who arrive and the threads of their lives shared, all weave together to make this a wonderful holiday read. We are left with gentle reminders of the one true meaning of Christmas.
