Aunt Dimity's Christmas by Nancy Atherton
I did not enjoy this book and the series is really starting to grate on me. Obviously, it's the holiday season. Lori has had them going nonstop and Bill is tired. She agrees that he doesn't have to go to any more holiday parties, except for the one they are throwing on Christmas Eve. His dad is in town and he agrees to take over the role of Joseph in the Nativity Play. The next morning, with the help of the twins and the magic stuffed bunny, they find a man in the snow in their lilac bush. They call for help and he is flown to a hospital. Nobody knows who he is, other than homeless. Bill finds out that a friend has died and he has to go back to Boston for the funeral and to help the widow. Lori goes to the hospital to check on the guy and meets a priest. They work together to figure out who the man is and what his past is. During this time Lori develops a crush on both the homeless guy and the priest. This is the second book where Bill has been absent and Lori starts developing crushes on randos; it's pissing me off. They discover the homeless man lived next door to Dimity when he was a child and it was the best time of his life. Now that he's done trying to deal with the fallout from his father's military career and his subsequent suicide, he agrees to take a job at the place he grew up. Lori's friends all come together to help decorate her house since she was out gallivanting and couldn't be bothered to uphold her promises. I need to step away from this series because I'm not enjoying it; it's not even fun to read it and be mad.
