    A Christmas Love Story: Nicholas Nutcracker & Brittany Ballerina

    Written by Maureen McCabe

    Publisher’s Synopsis: This children’s Christmas story is an old-fashioned, sweet tale about two engaging Christmas ornaments.

    Nicholas Nutcracker is a retired toy-soldier from a small village in Germany and Brittany Ballerina is a renowned prima ballerina with “The Christmas Ornament Ballet.” They are both in search of their true love. “I will find my true love with ‘word-of-mouth marketing!’” exclaims Nicholas determined to find his true love this Christmas. Or, maybe they will meet at the annual “Meet and Mingle of the Christmas Ornaments?” With the accidental help of the family’s adorable basset hound, Bellamy, with the oh-so-long ears, Brittany tumbles off the tree. When she is repositioned, it is near Nicholas. She thinks to herself, “What a brave toy soldier with so much character.” Then, it happens – they both fall in love at first sight!

    One might ask, “Why a Christmas Love story for kids?” But really, who doesn’t love a story about finding true love, whether it is between two people or two engaging Christmas ornaments? We all want to love and be loved! Does it really matter whether you are seven years old or eighty-seven years old? Deep in mankind’s DNA, love is the ingredient that has given life meaning and made the world go around since the beginning of time.

This past year, Maureen, her hubby, Rich, and their small dog, Scout, moved back to Southern California where they are enjoying spending time outdoors walking, hanging out with friends, and going to the beach!

      While I am familiar with the ballet, I am not with the story behind the characters. This would be a wonderful book to share with my granddaughter.

      Great niece’s mother likes to start cleaning out her daughter toys that she does not play with any more at this time of the year. They donate them and Zay always helps to carry them. in. Well her mom told her last week to go through her books and the look on her face! She is not parting with any of her books! So she would love this book.

      I do celebrate Christmas in July. I look for gifts throughout the year, too. The coordinating jammie set is very cute. The illustrations by Anastasiia Khmelevska are beautiful.
