About this ebook
Ellen is obsessed with the idea of creating the perfect Christmas card to send to all their family and friends. She's making a list and she's checking it twice.
Perfect holiday outfits? Check.
Perfect holiday decorations? Check.
Her husband's troubled teenage niece crashing at their house the night before the big photo shoot? Wait – that wasn't on the list!
Will a scheduling conflict, a sullen houseguest, and a family crisis derail Ellen's plans for a perfect photo shoot, or will she learn that perfection isn't so important after all?
