The Christmas Box by Richard Paul Evans is a cute short Christmas story. I would have made it even shorter by cutting out the beginning explanation. I'd begin by saying that they moved into the mansion to start new jobs. But anyway, whatever sins the author committed are forgiven because the story has a happy ending, like all Christmas stories do. The found letters in the story were not from or to her husband. I thought they might be to God. But Mary was writing to her deceased daughter. This sounds like a sad story but Mary and her daughter are united in the end. All Christmas novels should be like The Christmas Box.
