4★ overall for the two short stories

There's Something About Christmas 4★
A cute Macomber Christmas romance short story. Christmas in Seattle, Washington. The description of the weather is no where near to what my aunt describes (who lives in Omak - northern Washington). My aunt has been visiting us in California for the past 3 Christmases in order to escape the below zero weather. Our 60 degree F. weather during Christmas is like Washington's Springtime weather.

Here Comes Trouble 3.5★
For being a short story, this dragged on too much. It's cute and predictable with a holiday Christmas theme and dog theme (the two girls wants a puppy). With the epilogue showing Maryanne and Nolan's happy ending with two girls, the suspense of "will they get together wasn't there?" It was more like "when will they get together?" And Maryanne's parent's were a little ridiculous.

Glad Tidings as a set with these two stories fits well together. Their themes all match well. And they both have the Hero acting like the heroine's knight in shining armor. These are both cute reads.
