Nana settles down after a busy day preparing for Christmas with her precious grandchildren six-year-old Lily and eight-year-old Lance. She snuggles in with a huge plate of cookies and a Christmas story. A Christmas story from her memory banks and close to her heart.
Peter is pastor of the little town of Bridgeport and supported by his sister Grace Ann, they lead their flock. Head of his own flock in nearby town Kettle Springs Hank runs The Last Call, a rowdy bar with the Hell's Outlaws motorcycle club as customers.
Totally unappreciative of their own individual challenges one Christmas the friends decide to trade places. As they battle with their new roles and fully appreciating their lives and their roles and responsibilities for the first time, Hank and Pete settle in and open their eyes.
If you're looking for some festive fiction, this is a gorgeous tale full of Christmas cheer; I smiled all the way through. This is a beautiful tale of friendship, of community, of people coming together in spite of their differences, of togetherness and hope. And love, of course, love. Most of all, love.

The Christmas Spirit Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Two lifelong friends decide to trade places the week before Christmas and end up finding love along the way in this delightful novel from the queen of holiday stories, #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.
Peter Armstrong and Hank Colfax are best friends, but their lives couldn't be more different. Peter, the local pastor who is dedicated to his community, spending time visiting the flock, attending meetings, and, with the holiday season approaching, preparing for the Christmas service and live nativity. As a bartender, Hank serves a much different customer base at his family-owned tavern, including a handful of lonely regulars and the local biker gang.
When Peter scoffs that Hank has it easy compared to him, the two decide to switch jobs until Christmas Eve. To their surprise, the responsibilities of a bartender and a pastor are similar, but taking on the other's work is more difficult than either Peter or Hank expected. As the two begin to see each other in a new light-and each discovers a new love to cherish-their lives are forever changed.
In The Christmas Spirit, Debbie Macomber celebrates the true meaning of the holidays and the inclusive community spirit that binds us all.
