Takes place before Christmas but not holiday stories. First story too predictable with one exception. The aunts send their niece to Alaska as a mail order bride without telling her. Too involved in herself to realize it was her relative had done the same thing. Second story had more humor and a girl with some brains although she foolishly goes to Alaska to meet a guy found on Internet chat room. ( )
