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.
“Narrator Eliza Foss portrays Nana as she tells her grandchildren a true Christmas story from 1977. … Foss unwinds the story in a gentle old-time style that suits Macomber’s wholesome message. Peter sounds more restrained, while Hank is more casual and jovial. Peter’s sister, Grace Ann, who is stuck with guiding Hank through church festivities, sounds appropriately peeved until she rediscovers the meaning of Christian charity. Peter’s encounters with the bikers who frequent Hank’s tavern include lots of gruff voices and some hilarious moments. In an understated fashion, Foss encourages listeners to share Macomber’s theme of boundless love in a joyous Christmas season.”— AudioFile
