Fifteen-year-old Frankincense (Frankie) Wood tries to pull off the Christmas of her dreams as she juggles trying to keep in touch with her best friend, family dynamics at the family's Holliday shop, and recovering from world's worst first kiss.
Francie was born in a stable-- the deluxe model with the light-up star on the roof, one of the many Christmas items for sale at her family's Hollydale Holiday Shop. Their empire was founded by Francie's grandpa, who recently passed away. Lately Aunt Carole has been changing everything with ideas for Hollywood-inspired Santas and holiday-themed employee uniforms, which Frankie thinks is ruining all the charm and nostalgia of the business. Meanwhile she is saving up for a car--and angling to kiss the cute boy who works at the tree lot next door. Can Francie pull off the holiday of her dreams? --Adapted from book jacket.
