What a crabby neighbor Julia has. She tries to be so happy and bright for folks all the time and this guy next door, Cain, is a real Grinch. She tells her best friend about him and about the blog she is going to write to try to get a job as a social media person. Her friend suggests she kill two birds with one stone. Kill the Grinch with kindness over the next twelve days (of Christmas) and blog about her progress in being nice to someone to see if it changes their attitude. Over the course of the next 12 days she gets shot down at first. The guy doesn’t trust her motives. He’s been burnt bad by a woman so he’s a little shy of females bearing chocolate chip cookies or trying to buy him coffee in the morning at Starbucks. Plus she is incessantly chipper and constantly talking. At first it annoys him but the one day she has had a bad day and doesn’t say anything to him makes him ask if she is o.k. Tough day at her day job at Macy’s and her volunteering that night at a Senior Citizen’s home playing piano. Just so happens this guy’s grandfather is a resident at that home and they run into each other there. She sort of stalks him a little. Finds out who his grandfather is and starts visiting and talking out what she is up to. His grandfather becomes a good friend and ally in her quest to sweeten Cain’s disposition. Funny enough they end up falling in love and out of love but have faith dear readers this is a Debbie Macomber romance! And the ups and downs make for great blogging and thousands of responses! Looks terrific on her resume, too! Don’t know if it’s a Hallmark Channel movie, yet, but, I pictured Candace Cameron Burre as Julia in my mind the whole way through. Just sayin’ Hallmark, I think she would be perfect for the role. I liked this one a lot.
