About this listen

Trading Houses. Trading Towns.

Trading Christmas!

Emily Springer, widowed mother of one, decides to leave Leavenworth, Washington, to spend Christmas with her daughter in Boston.

Charles Brewster, history professor, curmudgeon and resident of Boston, wants to avoid Christmas altogether. He figures a prison town should be nice and quiet over the holidays - except he's thinking of the wrong Leavenworth!

Through an internet site, Charles and Emily arrange to swap houses for the holiday. So Emily goes to Boston - and discovers that her daughter has gone to Florida. And Charles arrives in Leavenworth and discovers that it's not the prison town - it's Santa's village! The place is full of Christmas trees, Christmas music and...elves.

Meanwhile, Emily's friend Faith Kerrigan travels to Leavenworth to visit her and instead finds Charles, an avowed grinch. Then Charles's brother, Ray, shows up at his home in Boston to discover that he isn't there - but Emily is.

Through all the mix-ups and misunderstandings, amid the chaos and confusion, romance begins to emerge in unexpected ways. Because everything changes at Christmas!

Debbie Macomber does know how to write page-turning Christmas Novels!

Trading Christmas weaves the stories of several women, men, and a daughter who end up across the Continents from their families . How each makes the best of their bad situations makes great reading fund. Lest I forget, the narration is excellent, too.

Good, sweet read

What a sweet read. Yes, we know when Debbie Macomber writes a book that we are going to get a solid, good read and this book met the mark. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it while on a trip. This was one of those stories where you knew what was going to happen, but it is the season to be joyful and this book kept you in that mood. Good job!

This was a lovely, feel good story with a hopeful message. I thoroughly enjoyed the clean, fresh read.

Renee Raudman did an excellent job of narrating. She really added to the book.

Lighthearted and Predictable

This was a lighthearted and predictable Christmas book. The characters had some depth to them and were likeable enough. It made for a good short, fluff listen.

Amusing and interesting.

It kept me intrigued as to what would happen next. I smiled often as the characters interacted and revealed more of themselves. The author is expert at writing about human emotions in relationships. A lighthearted Christmas adventure sure to please.

Excellent Christmas Read!

Would you consider the audio edition of Trading Christmas to be better than the print version?

I've read the print version as well as listened to the audio and loved them both!

What about Renee Raudman’s performance did you like?

Renee did an excellent job of bringing each character to life with their own personality. Honestly, I don't know how they do this and make the read sound so seamless and natural.

Any additional comments?

I thought it was a fabulous book that's sure to put every Scrooge in a festive mood.

Cheesy and Cheery

Didn’t care much for the narrator. Saw the ending coming in the first chapter. Not awful but nothing I could recommend.
