In this wonderful novel from the queen of holiday stories, #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber, two lifelong friends decide to swap locations the week before Christmas and wind up discovering love along the way. Although Peter Armstrong and Hank Colfax are best friends, their lives could hardly be more dissimilar. Peter, the local pastor who is dedicated to his community, spends time visiting the flock, attending meetings, and preparing for the Christmas service and real nativity as the holiday season approaches. Hank works as a bartender at his family-owned tavern, where he serves a diverse clientele that includes a handful of lonely regulars and the local biker gang. When Peter retorts that Hank has it easy in comparison to him, the two agree to exchange jobs until Christmas Eve. To their astonishment, the duties of a bartender and a pastor are similar, but taking on the other’s work is more difficult than Peter or Hank anticipated. Their lives are permanently changed as they learn to view each other in a new light—and each discovers a new love to cherish.
