Opis

Dakota Ranch Park is going PC this Christmas, transforming its immensely popular annual Christmas On The Ranch festival into a generic Winter Holidays event. All symbols of Christmas are banished from the festivities. Christmas trees, Nativity Scenes, caroling--all gone. Even Santa Claus is getting the boot, displaced from his North Pole throne by Global Claws, a silly character in a polar bear suit, whose main purpose in life, it seems, is to teach children about the evils of global warming and indoctrinate them into pagan Earth worship. A group of disgruntled volunteers walk away, vowing to hold their own Christmas festival, to restore all of our cherished traditions of Christmas to the North Dakota prairies. However--as the Official Sakakawea County, North Dakota Christmas Festival Committee gears into action, a mysterious saboteur, lurking in the shadows, pops up at every step of the way, leaving a calling card and threatening to wreck it all. Is it someone from the Ranch Park, trying to thwart the competition? Or is there a more sinister motive? And more importantly, can North Dakota's amateur detective Will Nickerson find the culprit and get to the bottom of it in time to save Christmas In New Oslo? Let's Make It Merry Christmas is a light and breezy Christmastime mystery that will put a smile on your face. It will make you laugh at times and perhaps groan a time or two at the occasional excursion into the corny--but it will not make you cry. This is not your usual Christmas tearjerker. So lose that handkerchief. You won't need it. The story is family-friendly, too, with clean language throughout. And, if you're reading it at Christmastime, have the merriest Merry Christmas ever. P. S. If you haven't yet read the previous Will Nickerson Mysteries, don't worry Each story is written in 'stand-alone' style and can be enjoyed without having previously read the others.
